Just seen this. What a fucking horrible 12 months. He was a decent player, Chisnall. Injuries hampered him truely making a mark. There wasnt the same antagonism about signing a player direct from united in those days.

 

RIP Phil Chisnall.

I think we just got promoted back then and United were the established top team so we weren't really rivals at the time. Shanks and Busby were good friends too and Busby was a former Liverpool captain so there was hardly any  animosity then.

Remarkable really coming so soon after Munich.

 

I'm too young to have seen him play but any player who wears our shirt and puts a shift in deserves our respect and our gratitude. 

 

Rest well Phil.

Another member of Shankly's team has passed on. Phil was the last player ever to directly transfer between Liverpool and Man United almost 50 years ago.

Correction, it was almost 60 years not 50 since we last had a player transferred between United and Liverpool. Long may that continue.
