Introduction: Waggy and Chillo are the nicknames of Ken Wagstaff and Chris Chilton. The Hull City AFC goal scoring machine of the late sixties. Ken delivered 197 goals in 434 appearances, while Chris scored 222 goals in 477 appearances. They are both now in their 70’s.
A Chris Chilton quote;
“I’ve just been through a knee operation so that’s two metal hips and a metal knee now,” he said. “They’re just about keeping me together thankfully.
“Waggy, on the other hand, has barely got a scratch on him. That must tell you something about how we played the game!”
And one from Ken;
“I don’t know why the people of Hull took to me so much,” he said. “Maybe it is because of all the goals.
“There was excitement. When we attacked the whole crowd stood up because they expected us to score.”
