  • He began his career as a teenager with Tottenham Hotspur but had to wait until after the Second World War to make his debut.
  • He joined Brentford in 1947, where his performances earned him a move to Sheffield United the following year.
  • He appeared for them in the First Division but was unable to prevent relegation at the end of the season, and he joined Plymouth Argyle six months later.
  • Chisholm was soon appointed captain and helped them challenge for promotion to the First Division after returning to the second tier in 1952, as Third Division South champions.
