Club career

Everton

Born in Liverpool, Merseyside,[3] Jevons is a product of the Everton youth academy.[3] He became one of the better young players in their reserve side, scoring 37 goals in 90 youth team games and winning an FA Premier Reserve League winners medal in 2001.[3] Despite his reputation for frequently scoring in the youth and reserve sides, he failed to break through into the first-team squad on a regular basis. But, he made his first team debut on 10 March 1999 coming on as a 38th minute substitute for Nick Barmby in a 2–1 Premier League victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.[4] He was handed his first start for the club on 22 September 1999 in a 1–0 home defeat in the League Cup by Oxford United, however he was replaced in the 46th minute by Francis Jeffers.[5] His final appearance came on 5 May 2001 when he featured in a 2–1 defeat away at Chelsea.[6] Jevons was transfer listed at the end of the 2000–01 season.[3]

Grimsby Town

In July 2001, he was sold to Grimsby Town for £250,000.[7] Grimsby were playing in the Football League First Division, and Jevons was one of the first signings of the new campaign for manager Lennie Lawrence.[7] He became an instant hit at Blundell Park and helped fire Grimsby to the top of the league within the first five games of the season, notably his partnership with young striker Jonathan Rowan had shown early promise.[7] On 9 October 2001, he scored a long-range goal in extra time of a League Cup fixture against Liverpool to send Grimsby through to the next round knocking Liverpool out.[8] Jevons finished the 2001–02 season having played 37 games scoring eight goals in all competitions.[7] After three substitute appearances for Grimsby in the 2002–03 season, Jevons was placed on the transfer list due to financial reasons,[7] but was later removed and was sent out on a season-long loan to Humberside rivals Hull City.[7] He scored three goals in 26 games for Hull,[9] before returning to the Mariners in the summer of 2003 following Grimsby's relegation from the second tier of English football.[7] Following the sacking of Paul Groves and the appointment of Nicky Law, Jevons struck up a good partnership with Isaiah Rankin, he scored four goals in a 6–1 victory over Barnsley on 28 February 2004.[10] Despite this the club suffered a second successive relegation, Jevons finished that season with twelve goals and left the club at the end of the season.

In popular culture

Pete Green wrote "The Ballad of Phil Jevons" which appears on the B side of his first seven-inch single Everything I Do Is Gonna Be Sparkly (Atomic Beat Records, 2007 – ABR001).[60] According to the songwriter: "To start with I just wrote the song to amuse my fellow Grimsby-supporting mates, and never intended it for public performance because I didn't think it'd mean anything to anyone. But then I thought: hmm, well, the enigmatic, gifted-but-lazy footballer is sort of an everyman figure really."[61]
