Club career

Chisholm, a former RAF fighter pilot, began his professional footballing career at Queen's Park, joining the club in 1942. During his time with the club, he represented Scotland in a wartime victory international, playing in a 3–2 victory over Ireland. During wartime, he also featured for several English clubs, including Manchester City and Chelsea as a guest player, before moving to Partick Thistle in 1946 where he made 34 appearances and scored 13 goals. In 1948, he joined Leeds United for a fee or £6,000 after the club failed in their attempt to sign Jimmy Mason from Third Lanark. Between 1948 and 1949 he scored 17 goals in 40 appearances for the Whites but fell out with manager Frank Buckley. He instead joined Leicester City in 1949, with Ray Iggleden moving to Elland Road in exchange, and went on to make 42 appearances scoring 17 goals.

Chisholm made the switch to Midlands rivals Coventry City in 1950, he made 68 appearances and scored 34 goals for the club before transferring to Cardiff City in March 1952. He made his debut in a 6-1 defeat against Sheffield United but went on to score 8 times in the last 11 games of the season to help secure promotion for the club. He finished as top scorer in his first season and shared top league scorer with Wilf Grant the following season, netting his only hattrick for the club in October 1953 in a 5–0 victory over Charlton Athletic. Chisholm left the Cardiff to sign for Sunderland and made his debut for them on 1 January 1954 against Aston Villa in a 2–0 win at Roker Park where he also scored a goal. During his time at the club he made 78 league appearances scoring 33 goals. He finished his career with Workington in 1956, before a short spell at Glentoran just before his retirement.
