His [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] profile describes him "as a talented attacker with great physical ability and an eye for goal."<ref>{{cite web|title=Player Profile|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/southafrica2010/players/player=182002/profile.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103104759/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/southafrica2010/players/player=182002/profile.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 November 2013|publisher=fifa.com|access-date=2 November 2013}}</ref> He is also known for his versatility in playing in both right and left [[midfield]] and as a left sided [[defender (association football)|defender]].

==Personal life==
Chipperfield was born to Kenneth and Dale Chipperfield in [[Wollongong]], [[New South Wales]]. He is of English descent and holds dual Australian-Swiss citizenship, having lived in Switzerland since signing for [[FC Basel]] in 2001.  As a boy, Chipperfield supported [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]]. During his playing days at Wollongong he worked as a school bus driver part-time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.migrationheritage.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/worldcup/family-chipperfield.shtml |title=The World Cup Dream - Scott Chipperfield's family |access-date=1 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110309034956/http://www.migrationheritage.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/worldcup/family-chipperfield.shtml |archive-date=9 March 2011}}</ref> His son, [[Liam Chipperfield|Liam]] is also a professional footballer who plays for the Swiss club [[FC Basel|Basel]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/sport/football/article/2020/11/25/hes-better-me-his-age-chipperfield-hails-son-following-his-footsteps|title='He's better than me at his age' - Chipperfield hails son following in his footsteps|website=Topics}}</ref>

In 1993, he started his senior career, winning the Illawarra First Division grand final with Tarrawanna in his only year at the club. He joined Fernhill in the [[Illawarra Premier League]] in 1994. After two seasons at Fernhill, Chipperfield joined [[Wollongong United FC|Illawarra Lions]] for one season in the [[NSW Super League]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Zalunardo |first=Paul |date=10 February 2003 |title=Pride of Bellambi star from the start |pages=24 |work=Illawarra Mercury}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Cockerill |first=Michael |date=1997-12-20 |title=Chipperfield's hare-and-tortoise rise |pages=39 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/115946265/chipperfields-hare-and-tortoise-rise/ |access-date=2023-01-07}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Murphy |first=Phil |date=10 December 1997 |title=Chipperfield becoming a hot property |pages=61 |work=Illawarra Mercury}}</ref>

===Wollongong Wolves===
Chipperfield began his professional career at [[Wollongong Community Football Club|Wollongong Wolves]] in 1996 and was a vital member of the team that won the [[National Soccer League]] twice in a row, in 2000 and 2001, and the [[Oceania Club Championship 2000–01|Oceania Club Championship in 2001]]. He scored the winning goal in the final of the [[OFC Men's Champions League|Oceania Club Championship]], as Wollongong Wolves defeated [[Tafea F.C.|Tafea]] of [[Vanuatu]] 1–0. He twice won the [[Johnny Warren Medal]] for the most outstanding player in the Australian domestic season and gained interest from European clubs. He had an unsuccessful trial at English First Division side [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] in the winter of 2000.

In early June 2001, Perth Glory announced that Chipperfield would be joining them for the 2001–02 NSL season, however he signed for FC Basel before his Wollongong Wolves contract expired at the end of the month.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Wolves Now In Glory Clothing |last=Findlay |first=Len |date=9 June 2001 |work=The West Australian|quote=Matt Horsley and Scott Chipperfield were finally announced as Perth Glory signings yesterday.

===FC Basel===
In the summer of 2001 Chipperfield joined [[Swiss Super League]] club [[FC Basel]]. He helped Basel win the [[2001/2002 football season in Switzerland|league title]] (their first in 22 years) and the [[Swiss Cup]] in his first season in Switzerland. The following season, he was an important member of the team as Basel reached the Second Group Stage of the [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League]], notching up wins against [[MŠK Žilina]], [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]], [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]], [[Deportivo de La Coruña]] and [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] on the way. In 2003, he won his second gold medal in the Swiss Cup. In the [[2003–04 Swiss Super League|2004]] and [[2004–05 Swiss Super League|2005 season]]s he won his second and third League Championship titles with the club.

In the summer of 2006, Chipperfield was subject to an unsuccessful bid by [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]] to obtain his services, but Basel soon announced that he had signed a three-year contract extension. At the end of this season Chipperfield played in the Cup Final in the [[Stade de Suisse]] and he received his third Cup Medal as Basel beat [[FC Luzern]] 1–0.

Chipperfield won the national [[Double (association football)|Double]] for the second time in 2008, it was his fourth Cup title and his fourth [[2007–08 Swiss Super League|League]] title. As Basel qualified for the [[UEFA Champions League]], after a six-year absence, [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|in 2008]], Chipperfield was one of only three survivors of the squad that competed in the competition in 2003, the other two being [[Ivan Ergić]] and [[Benjamin Huggel]]. On 13 September 2008, he came on as a substitute for [[Orhan Mustafi]] during Basel's 2–0 defeat of FC Luzern at [[St. Jakob-Park]], to make his 200th league appearance for Basel. He also scored the second goal of the match. In January 2009, he was set to sign for [[Hertha BSC]] of the [[Bundesliga|German Bundesliga]], but the move fell through on the advice of medical staff.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/15/german-football/2009/01/22/1073063/scott-chipperfield-not-signing-for-hertha-berlin |title=Scott Chipperfield Not Signing For Hertha Berlin |date=22 January 2009 |work=Goal.com |access-date=3 March 2019 |language=en}}</ref>

At the end of the [[2009–10 Swiss Super League|2009–10 season]] and [[2009–10 Swiss Cup|2009–10]] Cup campaign Chipperfield achieved his third Double with the club. In April 2011 the club announced a further one-year contract extension.<ref name="fcb 1">{{cite web | last = FC Basel 1893 | year = 2011 | url = http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/-/10044/25824/16/7 | title = Chipperfield ein weiteres Jahr beim FCB | publisher = FC Basel 1893 | access-date = 22 April 2011}}</ref> To that date <!-- 22.

At the end of the [[2010–11 Swiss Super League|2010–11 season]] Chipperfield won his sixth League Championship title.

In the [[2011–12 FC Basel season]] Chipperfield suffered injuries and therefore only played five games in the [[2011–12 Swiss Super League|League season 2011–12]] and three in the [[2011–12 Swiss Cup|Swiss Cup 2011–12]], scoring his only goal of the season in the first round away tie against [[FC Eschenbach]] on 17 September.<ref name="fcb 2">{{cite web | last = Weber | first = Dominik | year = 2011 | url = http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/de-de/10044/26627/16/7 | title = FCB startet erfolgreich in den Schweizer Cup: 4:0-Sieg in Eschenbach | publisher = FC Basel 1893 | access-date = 19 September 2011|language=de}}</ref> Chipperfields last game was in the 1:1 away draw on 11 December 2011 against [[Neuchâtel Xamax]].

===FC Aesch===
On 1 June 2012 it was announced he had signed a short-term contract to play for Illawarra Premier League club Tarrawanna Blueys FC.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://au.sports.yahoo.com/news/article/-/13836513/socceroos-pair-loom-for-west-sydney/ |title=Socceroos pair loom for West Sydney - Yahoo!7 Sport |access-date=1 June 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120716032751/http://au.sports.yahoo.com/news/article/-/13836513/socceroos-pair-loom-for-west-sydney/ |archive-date=16 July 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/ex-socceroo-scott-chipperfield-returns-home-hoping-to-finish-career-in-a-league-with-sydney-club/story-e6frf4gl-1226379758731 | title=Motorsport Video &#124;Motorsport Highlights, Replays, News, Clips }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/113601/scott-chipperfield-signs-with-tarrawanna/ |title=Scott Chipperfield signs with Tarrawanna |last=Pengilly |first=Adam |date=1 June 2012 |work=Illawarra Mercury |access-date=3 March 2019 |language=en}}</ref> Nevertheless, after a few weeks a move to the Swiss club FC Aesch was revealed by various media and confirmed.

==International career==
Chipperfield played his debut game for the [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia national team]] in the [[Suncorp Stadium|Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane]] as a substitute during the 3–1 win against [[Fiji national football team|Fiji]] on 25 September in the [[1998 OFC Nations Cup|1998 Oceania Nations Cup]]. He scored his first goal for the national team in the game against the [[Cook Islands national football team|Cook Islands]] just three days later, it was the eleventh goal of the game as Australia won 16–0.

He is perhaps best known in Australia for his loyal and somewhat unexpected appearance at the [[2002 OFC Nations Cup]] in New Zealand, a tournament which was marred by the financial turmoil of the then [[Football Federation Australia|Soccer Australia]]. The non-existent financial contribution meant that the Australian players had to pay their own way to get to New Zealand. Chipperfield became the only one of Australia's large Europe-based contingent to answer the call and perform for his country in their time of need.

Chipperfield was part of the team that defeated [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] in a [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL-OFC play-off)|playoff]] in November 2005 to qualify for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] in Germany, and was named in Australia's final 23-man squad. At the tournament, Chipperfield played an integral role in the [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australian]] midfield and defence; he was considered to be one of Australia's best players. 

On 12 October 2009, Chipperfield announced his intention to retire from the national team immediately after the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,26203207-5006373,00.html | work=The Advertiser | title=Socceroo Scott Chipperfield to quit international football | first=Tom | last=Smithies | date=12 October 2009}}</ref> After the final group game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup against [[Serbia national football team|Serbia]], which Australia won 2–1, Chipperfield announced his retirement from international football.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/video/272672/Mixed-Zone-Australia |title=Videos : Mixed Zone Australia : The World Game on SBS |access-date=1 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100628054206/http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/video/272672/Mixed-Zone-Australia |archive-date=28 June 2010}}</ref>
