Roy Ellam

Born in Hemsworth, Ellam started his career at Bradford City before joining Huddersfield Town, then Leeds United, before returning to Huddersfield. Although Leeds won the First Division during his time at the club, Ellam made only four appearances during the campaign. He then played in the North American Soccer League for Philadelphia Atoms and Washington Diplomats before returning to non-league football in England with Mossley, where he scored twice in 83 appearances, and Gainsborough Trinity, where he was manager. From 1983 to 1992, Ellam ran the Nelson Inn public house in Thornhill Lees near Dewsbury, and worked in his daughter's fitness centre.
