Back to GoS-DB Hub Find Another Player JACK CHISHOLM Born: 09 October 1924 Came from: Sheffield United Went to: Retired First game: 24 December 1949 Last game: 26 April 1954 Appearances: 188 (188/0) Goals: 2 Chisholm began his career as a teenager with Tottenham Hotspur but, returning to the club after the war at the age of 23, could not break into the first team and so moved to Brentford. After 18 months at Griffin Park, he was sold to Sheffield United and then joined Argyle six months later. Chisholm lacked all the necessary components to become a top footballer – he had no speed, agility, stamina or genuine skill. 'Jumbo', however, imprinted his name in Argyle history with his leadership qualities and sheer physical presence. He was a giant in the air and a thunderous tackler, but it was his ability to cajole his more talented colleagues into action that made him so important to the club. He was also reputed to enjoy a drink in the Britannia Inn before home games. Injuries and lifestyle cut his career short in 1954, but the legend of Jack lives on today with one of the club's hospitality lounges called 'The Chisholm Lounge'. APPEARANCE DETAILS [Reselect Competitions] The details below reflect appearances in all first-team competitions. |
