He started his professional career with Manchester United in 1961 and went on to play 47 times for them, scoring 10 goals.[1] In 1964, he was transferred to Liverpool for a fee of £25,000,[2] and as of 2020 remains the last player to be transferred directly between the two rivals.[3]

At Liverpool, he only managed two goals in eight appearances before moving on to Southend United in 1967.[2] He finished his career with a season at Stockport County in 1971–72, making 30 league appearances for them.[4]

Chisnall has been affected by a major stroke in recent years, and in October 2014 a charity evening near Manchester raised money for him which was also attended by former Manchester United and Manchester City players.[5]
