Playing career

Corbishley joined Port Vale as an amateur in June 1959 and signed as a professional in October of that year.[1] He made his debut on 17 October 1960, in a League Cup 2–2 draw with Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.[1] He played a further two League Cup and three Third Division matches that season.[1] Used as a rotation player by manager Norman Low, he featured only in eight of the last nine games of the 1961–62 season before being released from Vale Park in May 1962.[1] He moved on to Bill Lambton's Chester, and scored 11 goals in 83 Fourth Division games as the "Seals" finished in the re-election zone in 1962–63 before rising to 12th and eighth place in 1963–64 and 1964–65 under new manager Peter Hauser.[1] After leaving Sealand Road, Corbishley played for Stafford Rangers and Prescot Town.[1]
