Chilton is Hull City's all-time top scorer, with 222 goals in all competitions.
He was renowned for his partnership with fellow striker Ken Wagstaff, the taller,
unselfish Chilton proving to be the perfect foil to the stocky, more predatory Wagstaff.
Both players were deemed unlucky not to gain international honours -
although both played for an England league XI in representative games.
He spent many years in various positions with Hull City including a short
spell as caretaker manager.
After retiring he lived in Thorngumbald, East Riding of Yorkshire.
He later developed dementia and died on 20 May 2021, aged 77.
