Looking Back At: Keith Ellis
Keith Duncan Ellis was born in Sheffield and was on the books of one of his local league clubs, Sheffield Wednesday, as an amateur from 1953 while employed as a draughtsman. He made his first team debut at the age of 19 on the 19th of March 1955 in a 2-0 home win over Preston North End. Turning professional the following month Ellis appeared in four more games in the remainder of the season scoring one goal as Wednesday finished in bottom place in the First Division. They bounced straight back into the top flight as Second Division champions but Ellis made no first team appearances in that season with the prolific Roy Shiner holding down the centre forward berth.
Wednesday finished in mid-table in their first season back in the top flight with the young reserve Ellis appearing in just six league games. He averaged a goal a game in these, however, including a hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Birmingham City in the last game of the season.
