After beginning his career with London junior side Storey Athletic and playing for West Ham United as an amateur, Lill began his professional career as an apprentice with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1954. A winger, he scored on his Wolves debut in December 1957, but could not secure a regular place in the first team. The following season he scored 12 goals in 18 appearances but was still unable to establish himself in the starting line-up and moved to Everton in 1960. After two years at Goodison he joined Argyle but was unable to settle in the South West and was sold to Portsmouth less than a year later. Lill spent three unremarkable years at Pompey, had a brief spell with Guildford City and then emigrated to South Africa, where he played for and managed Germiston Callies.
