Welcome back to The Football Historian Podcast, hosted by Peter Kenny Jones. Episode 64 is with one of English football's great survivors: Kevin Ellison. Kev is still playing at the age of 47, has made more than 1,000 career appearances and is aiming to keep going all the way to 50. But there's much more to his story than longevity. Kev takes us right back to his childhood in Liverpool, where he was part of Liverpool's Centre of Excellence alongside the likes of Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard before being released at 15 — something he admits broke his heart. From there came an incredible route through football. He went from working on Breck Road delivering beds, wardrobes and three-piece suites to making his Premier League debut for Leicester City at Old Trafford just months later. We discuss his long career across the Football League, his nine-and-a-half years at Morecambe, becoming the pantomime villain opposition supporters loved to hate, scoring against his former club for Newport County and running straight towards Derek Adams to celebrate, and some of the other memorable confrontations with supporters during his career. Kev also speaks incredibly openly about his mental health, why the loud and confrontational character people saw on the pitch was sometimes a mask, the loneliness that can exist inside professional football and how he has prepared himself for the day he eventually has to stop playing. We also put the scale of his career into perspective by comparing his number of appearances with some of football's biggest names, including Steven Gerrard, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Paolo Maldini, Frank Lampard, Ryan Giggs, Gianluigi Buffon and Cristiano Ronaldo. Plus Michael Owen, Paul Scholes, Nick Barmby, Joleon Lescott, Ian Rush, Gazza, Maradona, Alex Ferguson, the best players and managers Kev encountered and plenty more. A brilliant, funny and extremely honest look at a football career that is still going. PATREON Want more from The Football Historian Podcast?
