Phillip "Phil" Jevons (born August 1, 1978 in Liverpool, England) is an English football player for Football League One side Huddersfield Town. He is mainly remembered by football fans for scoring a 45 yard wonder goal in extra time for Grimsby Town against Liverpool in the 3rd round of the Carling Cup, the game finished in a 2-1 win for Grimsby at Anfield.

Club career

Jevons is a product of the Everton F.C. Academy and became one of the stars of their youth side, scoring 55 goals in 91 youth team games and winning the FA Youth Cup in 1998. He failed to make much impact on the first team however, and on July 2001, he was sold to Grimsby Town for £250,000. Whilst at Grimsby, Jevons found his scoring boots and hit 24 goals before being sent out on loan to Hull City in September 2002 for financial reasons. He remained on the other side of the Humber until the end of that season, scoring 4 goals, before returning to Grimsby. He is mainly remembered by Town fans for scoring "that" goal in the 2-1 League Cup win over Liverpool at Anfield in which he scored a 45 yard wonder goal in extra time after The Reds had led the tie. He joined Yeovil Town on a free transfer in June 2004 and became a leading scorer for the club - in 2005, he was joint top scorer in all four divisions with 27 league goals.

He joined Bristol City after a free transfer from Yeovil Town in the summer of 2006.

On 22 November 2007 he went to Huddersfield Town on a month's loan. He made his debut two days later, as a substitute in Town's 1-0 loss against Leyton Orient at the Galpharm Stadium. On December 1, he scored his first two goals in a 3-0 against his former club, Grimsby Town to send Huddersfield through to the third round of the FA Cup. His first league goal for the Terriers came against his parent club's rivals, Bristol Rovers. Then on Christmas Eve, Jevons's loan was extended until 19 January 2008.
