Glovers Past


Lee Lee Lee Johnson! The midfield maestro pulled the strings in the middle of the park for the Glovers in those memorable seasons in the early 2000s. Dave spent over an hour reminiscing with Lee about his time in Green and White for our first Glovers Past of 2025! Enjoy this one!

 

Phil Jevons of Yeovil Town stretches for the ball


Not many strikers like Phil Jevons come around in your time supporting a football club. Luckily for Yeovil Town supporters, we had Phil, one of the purest goalscorers ever to pull on the shirt. He played 84 times for the Glovers and scored 42 goals, propelling us to League One and keeping us there too.

On this episode of the Glovers Past Ian and Dave spent a brilliant hour reminiscing with Phil about his time at Yeovil, the players he played with and his many goals. Settle in and enjoy this chat with a proper striker.

On our latest episode we chat to Owen Pickard, a prolific goal-scorer the last time the Glovers returned from regional football. He talks about FA Cup heroics, a telepathic relationship with Warren Patmore and how he almost came back to Huish Park.

Charlie Wakefield holds off his marker


We didn’t have to go too far back in the history books for this one. Signed by Darren Sarll in 2021, Charlie Wakefield spent two seasons at Huish Park and became a fan favourite in short order. Charlie spent a Friday evening in September chatting to Dave and Ben about his time in green and white including his goals, his departure, his ‘Man Up’ documentary and more. Sing it with us…Oooh baby do you know what it’s worth…


At the time of his departure, friend of the pod, Jake Gallagher wrote this Ode to our star man.


If you think back to those heady days between 2001 and 2006, there are plenty of legends to think about. One of those legends, who had a rather non-PG chant from the terrace was Colin Miles. On this episode of the Gloverspast, Dave and Ian welcome the “mentalist” himself to chat about his glorious years at Huish Park.


This episode of the Glovers Past features one of our favourite players of recent season. Grant Smith joins Dave and Ben to chat about his time in between the sticks at Huish Park. Enjoy this one!

On this episode, we speak to Ollie Bassett who, when he made his debut for Paul Sturrock’s side in 2015 was the youngest player to represent the club at EFL level. He made just two first-team appearances for the club but talks about his memories good and bad of that time and a career which has since taken him from Dorchester to being named the Player of the Year in the Canadian Premier League – via New Zealand, Australia and Nuneaton!
