father and son. He said in 2007 "there was nothing like the intensity between [Liverpool] and United that now exists". He was the last player to be transferred directly between the two clubs at the time of his death. Chisnall made his debut, four months after signing, at the 1964 FA Charity Shield as a substitute. He scored his first goal for the club two days later in the team's first ever European Cup game in a win at KR Reykjavik on 17 August 1964. He proceeded to be the first player to touch the ball on Match of the Day, against Arsenal on the first day of the 1964–65 season. He played his final game for Liverpool in the first leg of the 1965–66 European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final against Celtic. Chisnall ultimately scored two goals in nine appearances with the team. Later career Chisnall moved to Southend United for £14,000 in 1967. This was the most expensive transfer fee paid by Southend until it signed Bill Garner two years later. Chisnall appeared in 161 games and scored 32 goals in his four seasons with the club. He finished his career with Stockport County, playing one season with them in 1971–72. He made 30 league appearances for the team and scored two goals. Later life After retiring from football, Chisnall settled down in Urmston. He operated two betting shops, before becoming a factory processor in Trafford Park and working at a malt loaf bakery. His grandson played as a winger for United's academy team around 2007. Chisnall expressed his displeasure at the manner in which the attempted transfer of Gabriel Heinze from Manchester United to Liverpool unfolded in the summer of 2007. He reflected how during his playing career, "you signed a contract, stayed loyal to your club until it was finished and regarded your wife as your agent. But there's no loyalty in football nowadays; players just leg it if they're unhappy." Chisnall suffered a major stroke in late 2013 that left him confined to a wheelchair and with speech problems. A charity evening was held in October 2014 near Manchester to raise money for him and was attended by former Manchester United and Manchester City players. He died on 4 March 2021 at the age of 78.
