Title: Tony Chilleystone
Post by: Steve C on February 10, 2026, 12:59:55 PM
Thought I would place a post letting supporters of KLFC know that sadly Tony Chilleystone has passed away.

Although I was only very young at the time I do remember Tony playing for Kings Lynn. Tony signed for Kings Lynn as a 20 year old in 1959. I believe he stayed until the late 1960s as he is listed as being Downham Market FC manager from 1969 to 1972.

R.I.P Tony
