Paul Elliott
Paul Marcellus Elliott Date of Birth: Mar 18, 1964 Share "Paul Elliott" on FacebookPaul failed a trial at Luton Town as a striker and signed forms for his local club Charlton instead and converted to a central defender.
With the Hatters needing a strong and commanding centre-half to bolster their defence as they attempted to avoid relegation from the top flight in 1983 they paid a cut price £95,000 to cash strapped Charlton to achieve their aims.
Unfortunately Paul broke his leg in a League Cup tie with Leicester in 1984 and by the time of his return the Town had signed Steve Foster. Unable to keep both players happy the Hatters sold Paul to Aston Villa for £400,000 and from there he sampled life in Italy with Pisa and then turned out for Celtic and Chelsea where another bad injury ended his career.
Paul is now a football pundit and has a role on the FA’s Inclusion Advisory Board
