    Nathan Ellington | The Football Historian Podcast | #52 (Part One)
    Feb 25 2026
    Welcome to The Football Historian Podcast, hosted by Peter Kenny Jones. In episode 52 (Part One), I’m joined by former Premier League striker Nathan Ellington for the first of a two-part interview covering his journey through football — from non-league beginnings to the top flight. Nathan explains how his career started at Tooting & Mitcham United before moving to Walton & Hersham, earning a Football League chance at Bristol Rovers and eventually making his name at Wigan Athletic. We talk about the key people who shaped his career, including playing under Ian Holloway, and his famous strike partnership with Jason Roberts. Nathan also reflects on playing alongside talents such as Leighton Baines and Jimmy Bullard at Wigan, and gives a very honest account of his departure from the club — including how contract negotiations with chairman Dave Whelan unfolded and why leaving Wigan for West Bromwich Albion remains the biggest regret of his career. This is Part One of a two-part conversation, with Part Two released in four weeks’ time. We also filmed some bonus content during Nathan’s visit: • Playing With Myself — Nathan and I play FIFA 05 on the PS2 and attempt to recreate the Ellington & Roberts partnership • A Show & Tell episode featuring boots from his Watford days • A Patreon Q&A where Nathan answers your questions Subscribe on Patreon now for early access and bonus content.

    Welcome to The Football Historian Podcast, hosted by Peter Kenny Jones.

We also talk in detail about The Traitors: what it’s really like inside the castle, how hard it is to spot a Traitor when you’re living it, and what happens after you’re banished.
