Mancunian Chisnall graduated from United’s youth academy and represented the Old Trafford club’s senior team between 1961 and 1964, scoring 10 goals in 47 games, before joining Liverpool for a fee of £25,000 in April 1964.

Former Liverpool manager Bill Shankly had hailed the forward on his arrival at the club, saying: “Phil can do unusual things with the ball, he might be something special.”

Chisnall made his Liverpool debut in the Charity Shield four months after joining the Anfield side and opened his account in a European Cup victory at KR Reykjavik.

However, his time at the club was shortlived as he scored only two goals in nine appearances.

His final game was the first leg of the 1965-66 Cup Winners’ Cup semifinal against Celtic.

Chsinall then joined Southend United before ending his playing career at Stockport County.
