Jack Chisholm
Jack Richardson Chisholm (9 October 1924 – 24 August 1977) was an English footballer who played as a centre half.
Known for his leadership and physical presence, Chisholm is regarded as one of the best defenders to have played for Plymouth Argyle.〔Danes (2009), ''Complete Record'', p. 88.〕 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. Injuries and lifestyle ended his career two years later; he had cartilage removed from both knees and was known to have a drink in a nearby pub before home matches. Nicknamed ''Jumbo'' due to his stature, Chisholm was inducted into the Plymouth Argyle Hall of Fame in 2004.
==Playing career==
Born in Edmonton, London, Chisholm had to wait until after the Second World War to begin his professional career. He made two league appearances for Tottenham Hotspur in 1947 before being transferred to Brentford.〔("Jack Chisholm profile" ). Neil Brown. Retrieved 19 September 2010.〕 He quickly established himself in the first team at Griffin Park, making 49 league appearances in little over a year.〔 He then joined Sheffield United, where he made 21 appearances in the First Division. Chisholm then joined Second Division club Plymouth Argyle in December 1949 for £12,000, with the Pilgrims battling against relegation. He made his debut at Home Park in a 2–1 win over Chesterfield.〔("1949–50 season" ). Greens on Screen. Retrieved 6 January 2010.〕 It took them two seasons to regain their place in the Second Division, but they did it in style. Chisholm, now captain, led by example. He was never the most graceful or technical player, but he was a towering defender, strong in the air and a thunderous tackler. His ability to inspire his more talented team-mates into action and his defensive ability made him an integral part of the team.〔("Jack Chisholm profile" ). Plymouth Argyle. Retrieved 6 January 2010.〕 With the club's main attacking threat coming from the trio of Maurice Tadman, George Dews and Alex Govan, the Pilgrims were crowned champions.〔("1951–52 season" ). Greens on Screen. Retrieved 6 January 2010.〕〔("When Argyle finished as Champions" ). ''Plymouth Herald''. Retrieved 6 January 2010.〕
Back in the Second Division, Chisholm and the club went from strength to strength, matching their best ever league finish of 4th in the 1952–53 season.〔("1952–53 season" ). Greens on Screen. Retrieved 6 January 2010.〕 However, the next season was to be Chisholm's last for Argyle and his last as a professional footballer. His lifestyle wasn't ideal for a professional athlete; he enjoyed having a pre-match drink at the nearby Britannia Inn,〔 and injuries also began to take their toll. He played his last game against Stoke City at the Victoria Ground on 26 April 1954. In all, he made 188 appearances for the Pilgrims, scoring 2 goals. Chisholm left a mark on everyone involved with the club at the time and is remembered to this day. In his honour the club named a hospitality suite at Home Park after him, calling it ''The Chisholm Lounge''.〔
