Chilvers did not make his Football League debut until 2 October 1948 in a 1–3 home defeat to Walsall and went on to make 17 league appearances that season, scoring once.[5]

Over the subsequent five seasons, Chilvers made 15, 30, 22, 28 and 6 appearances respectively, without scoring[6] before moving on to Gravesend & Northfleet in 1954.[1] He made a total of 123 senior appearances for Palace including five in the FA Cup but excluding his wartime appearances.[2]
