Chilton terrorised lower division defences (including City’s) in 12 years at Hull City. The dark-haired striker built a potent partnership with Ken Wagstaff and netted 224 goals for the Tigers. Noel Cantwell paid £90,000 for him in August 1971 but it was a disastrous move for the Boothferry legend. Despite giving 100% he was luckless in front of goal and suffered a bad back injury, allegedly from driving up and down from Hull in his sports car. Eventually he was forced to retire with the injury but later played in South Africa for Highlands Park and some non-league football. The likeable Yorkshire man lived in a village near Hull but suffered heart problems in his latter years.
