Phillip, who made ten appearances for the Saddlers during the 1951/52 season, also played for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leicester City, Luton Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Burton Albion and Gresley during an eventful career.
Phillip not only had a lengthy football career but fought for his country during World War II, played cricket for England and also worked as a coach at Measham.
The thoughts of everyone at Bescot Banter are with Phillip's family, friends, and fans during this sad time.
