RIP Phil Chisnall Liverpool FC is deeply saddened by the passing of Phil Chisnall, aged 78.
The former forward was signed from Manchester United by Bill Shankly in April 1964 – the last player to transfer directly between the two clubs – and went on to score two goals in nine appearances for the Reds.
Chisnall made his debut as a substitute in the Charity Shield four months after his arrival, and then netted his first goal two days later in a European Cup win at KR Reykjavik.
His final game came in the first leg of the 1965-66 Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final against Glasgow Celtic and he then departed to join Southend United, whom he represented for four years.

Approving the Arsenal garbage
I just read Dale May’s email in total amazement! I actually had the misfortune of watching the dirge that was Arsenal v Man City, and cannot quite believe anyone, Gooner or not, could’ve “liked” the Arsenal performance. I was so bored I cannot quite remember if they actually had a shot on target, or a shot at all! It was the most gutless performance by an Arsenal team, I’ve ever had the displeasure of witnessing. They “settled” for a 0-1 defeat, with City barley breaking sweat. There were myriad occasions when various City players saw the ball out of play, or shoulder-charged Arsenal players, without any effort from the Arsenal player involved. And it kept happening again & again.

The Czech, an FA Youth Cup winner with the Reds two years ago, is expected to gain invaluable experience in senior professional football during his stay at Richmond Park.
Jaros will be working with St Pat’s goalkeeping coach Pat Jennings Jr. – son of the Northern Ireland great of the same name – in an environment chosen especially to aid his progress arc.
