Lishman, who played as an inside forward, featured for clubs Walsall, Arsenal & Nottingham Forest throughout his career. Lishman is as well Arsenal's seventh highest goalscorer of all time. Career Born in Birmingham, Lishman first played as a centre forward for non-league Paget Rangers, before signing as a professional for Third Division South Walsall in August 1946. In two seasons with the Saddlers, Lishman scored 26 goals in 59 league appearances.
