The former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Phil Chisanel passed away today (Thursday) at the age of 78. Chisanel was the last player to move directly between the two major rivals in England.

Chisanel grew up in the Red Devils Academy and played in the senior team from 1961 to 1964 in which he scored 10 goals in 47 appearances.

In April 1964 he made the move recorded in the pages of history, when he was sold to Liverpool for £ 25,000.

In the Hoods uniform he appeared in just nine games and scored two goals, with his last game being in the first semi-final of the European Cup Winners' Cup against Celtic in 1955/56.

He then joined Southend United, finishing his career in the Stockport County uniform.

The Premier League champion sent her condolences: "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Phil Chisnel. The thoughts of all of us in the Liverpool Football Club family are with Phil's family and friends in this sad and difficult moment. Rest in peace."
