Gordon Chisholm Biography

Gordon Chisholm is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on April 8, 1960 in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. Gordon William Chisholm (born 8 April 1960 in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional footballer who was a former manager and player. Chisholm was central defender for Sunderland, Hibernian, Dundee and Partick Thistle.

After he retired as a player Chisholm became a coach playing various duties as an the assistant coach of Ian McCall. Chisholm was appointed by McCall as Dundee United’s manager Dundee United in 2005, and led Dundee United to victory in winning the Scottish Cup Final, which they lost by a score of 1-0 to Celtic. Chisholm was fired the following season Chisholm was later appointed manager of the Scottish First Division club Queen of the South. Chisholm led the team to their 2008 Scottish Cup Final, which they lost 3-1 to Rangers. Chisholm quit Queens in the year 2010 to take over Dundee however, he was removed from the club when it was put into administration in October 2010.

A strong start to the 2008–09 league campaign saw the club sitting top of the table in October. At the same time, Chisholm was linked with the vacant position at Dundee, but Davie Rae refused Chisholm permission to talk to the Dark Blues. This coincided with Queens losing form, as they gained only three draws from the next 12 games placing them only one place above bottom. Their form improved in the latter part of the season and the club finished in mid- table.

As Rangers had already qualified for the 2008–09 UEFA Champions League through their league position, Queens entered the 2008–09 UEFA Cup competition. They were drawn in a qualification round against Danish club FC Nordsjælland. The first leg, hosted at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie, was played in a quagmire with the Danes running out 2–1 winners. Queens delivered a stronger performance in the return leg, controlling most of the game but with only one goal to show for their superiority. With a 1–0 victory of no value in an aggregate result due to the away goals rule and Queens pushing all out for the second goal, the Danes took advantage to score two goals in the last five minutes. Chisholm’s team selection for the UEFA Cup ties caused some surprise. With Stephen Dobbie the most prolific striker at the club in a generation, Chisholm started with Dobbie on the bench for both ties instead preferring the workmanlike Stewart Kean.

Chisholm was appointed the manager in charge of the interim period at Dundee United on 14 March 2005, following the demotion by Ian McCall. Chisholm lost 3-2 to the teams of Celtic as well as Hibernian within his two first games in the role. The next week Chisholm’s squad beat Hibernian, Rangers and Hearts. United were able to win eight games for three years without winning against their neighbours Dundee which saw goals scored by Mark Wilson and Jim McIntyre to secure a 2-1 victory. This result meant that Chisholm was awarded his first SPL Manager of the Month award during his first month of full charge of the club (April 2005). Chisholm’s team subsequently retained SPL status in a dramatic manner thanks to a last-minute Barry Robson penalty at Inverness on the last game of the year.

For Chisholm who was a defender, he smashed Asa Hartford’s shot over the goal for the winning goal for Norwich.

United’s win over Hibs resulted in them reaching their 2005 Scottish Cup Final, which they lost 1-0 to Celtic. Because Celtic had already been selected for their place in the UEFA Champions League, however, United qualified for the UEFA Cup. Chisholm was appointed to the position as manager on a permanent basis on the 24th of May, 2005. Despite spending a significant amount of money on players like Lee Miller, Dundee United were eliminated at the qualifying phase of UEFA Cup by Finnish team MyPa. Inconsistent league performances and a 3-2 loss to Aberdeen during the 3rd round of the Scottish Cup, after having won 2-0, resulted in Chisholm being dismissed on the 10th of January, 2006 . This was done by Dundee United chairman Eddie Thompson.

Chisholm again became Ian McCall’s assistant, this time at Dumfries club Queen of the South, until McCall’s departure from the club at the end of the 2006–07 season. Chisholm then accepted the role as manager, appointing Kenny Brannigan as his assistant manager. Chairman Davie Rae also announced that the club would become fully professional that season. In March 2008, Chisholm guided Queens to only their second ever Scottish Cup semi-final appearance with a 2–0 quarter final victory against Dundee, a game notable for a goal from 84 yards by Ryan McCann. Queens followed this with a 4–3 win against Aberdeen in the semi-final, which meant that Chisholm had guided Queens to their first ever Scottish Cup Final appearance. Despite second half Queens goals by Steve Tosh and Jim Thomson, Rangers ran out 3–2 winners in the Final. Queens finished fourth in the Scottish First Division.
