| Jabba's Comments |
Ken Chisholm spent a season with Leeds just after the war, and
moved with Leeds heading downhill, took a step up that resulted in
him appearing - on the losing side - at Wembley in the 1949 FA Cup
Final. He also played in the USA for the LA Kickers. Unfortunately,
he is probably best known for being involved in the scandal
surrounding illegal payments to players at Sunderland in the 1950s.
After initially refusing to answer questions, he finally admitted
receiving illegal payments and was duly punished.
Wes Chisholm says: I am kens son and would like to correct a
couple of things. His position was inside left, and he got capped
once for Scotland. My dad wrote a book which was never published
and he talks about a lot of backhanders and match fixing that went
on in those days. Jabba says: according to my records, he received
a "Scottish Victory" cap in 1945 - but that's not classed as a full
international cap and he is not listed in Rothmans as receiving any
Scottish representative honours.
