Chamberlain began his career as a youth player with Middlesex and London and gained youth international honours for his country. He joined Fulham in 1952, where he made 204 first team appearances, scoring 64 goals before leaving for Dover Athletic in 1965. Trevor was a maverick of a player on the left wing and much loved by Fulham supporters - because he wasn"t "perfect".
Two years later after his National Service, in Chamberlain"s first team game in 1954, with his first kick in the very first minute, he scored a goal against Lincoln City.
Next season, he even postponed his wedding day in order to play against Newcastle United in pouring rain in the 4th round of the Field Artillery Cup. Tosh scored a hat trick (and possibly a fourth, which was controversially given offside).
And in the best tradition of Fulham"s greatest games they eventually lost, 4-5. Tosh was renowned for his thunderous kick, a toe-punt once caught by Gordon Banks forced him over the goalline, causing an own goal.
Another time, a back pass to his goalie, Tony Macedo resulted in broken ribs.
He famously stopped in mid game once in order to ask for a quick puff from a supporter"s cigarette, before continuing play. He was probably the most beloved of all the Fulham characters (along with Johnny Haynes and Jimmy Hill) and his exploits thrilled the fans as much as they often exasperated Haynes, who was always a perfectionist. A much loved character who, retiring from football, worked for Richmond Park authorities in the 1980s and "90s.
He is frequently seen at Craven Cottage and continues to support Fulham Football Club. As Max Miller would have said, "there"ll never be another!"
After spending his youth career in London and Middlesex, Chamberlain signed for Fulham in 1954 and made his debut in November that year.
