| Chisholm |
 Chisholm (forename unknown) was probably born in the late 1850s or 1860s, and is most likely to be Scottish. * The forward appeared as a guest for Thistle in March, 1887, having most recently been with Port Glasgow Athletic. He made his only known appearance on Saturday, 26th March, 1887, in a 1-0 friendly defeat away to Port Glasgow Athletic. There were no goals for Chisholm in his only known appearance for Thistle. His club-list included Port Glasgow Athletic and Partick Thistle. We don't know where or when Chisholm died. *

 Chisholm's place in our Player's A-Z is a rather tenuous one. On Saturday, 26th March, 1887, Thistle were down to play a friendly against Port Glasgow Athletic at Clune Park, but only 7 Jagsmen were in place and ready to play as kick-off approached. Four reserves from the home side - Brown, Chisholm, Clark & McLaughlin - were hastily re-purposed as Thistle men for the day, thereby ensuring the sporting integrity of an 11 v 11 contest. There was nothing between the teams who both had their share of attacking, but Port scored the winner with a header from a corner in the 2nd half. “The match was only passable” (GT). |
