Pat Nevin - Part 1: The Accidental Footballer, Clyde, Chelsea.

Hello, Im Craig and welcome to another episode of Football Kit Memories - the podcast that gets under the shirt.

Today I meet the thinking man’s footballer - Mr Pat Nevin.

During the podcast, Pat talks about his new book - The Accidental Footballer - as he reflects on his time growing up in Glasgow, being part of an academic family and his somewhat reluctant path to becoming a professional footballer.

Pat was so generous with his time, sharing so many incredible stories that I wanted to break this podcast into two parts and make sure you got to hear everything he shared with me. 

Here in part one Pat talks about his time with Chelsea, reflecting on his first season in 83/84 through the choice of the home shirt the blues wore in that promotion season. We also cover Pat’s move to Everton following Chelsea’s relegation back to the second division in 1988. There we discuss the difficulties in maintaining a winning but ageing team and there’s a sliding doors moment for Pat as he mulls over a potential move to PSG.

Part two arrives on Monday, where Pat discusses Scotland and his next two football shirt choices - be sure to follow Football Kit Memories wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don’t miss it.

I really do hope you enjoy this... as much as I did.
