During the war he also made guest appearances for Chelsea and Fulham.[1] Following the resumption of the Football League in 1946, Phipps made 185 league appearances for Charlton, scoring twice.[2] He is perhaps better known for his appearances in the FA Cup; he was a losing finalist with Charlton in 1946, and was part of their cup-winning team in the following year's final.
