We recently had the chance to sit down with Elkan Baggott for a proper chat, and it’s now live as a full podcast episode. If you’re a Blackpool supporter or just into football in general, this one’s worth your time.
Elkan is someone who comes across as calm, focused, and quietly confident. He’s got a thoughtful way of talking about the game — no over-rehearsed answers, just a real insight into what it’s like being a young professional at a club like Blackpool. He spoke openly about settling into the squad, dealing with the pressures that come with the job, and how he stays grounded through it all.
There’s something refreshing about hearing from players without the usual media gloss. This wasn’t about post-match reactions or transfer rumours — it was about the person behind the shirt. Elkan talked about his journey so far, the lessons he’s picked up, and what motivates him to keep pushing. He also had a lot of positive things to say about the fans, the support around the club, and how much he’s enjoying his time here.
If you’re interested in what happens off the pitch — the routines, the mindset, the day-to-day life of someone chasing their goals in football — this episode gives a proper look behind the scenes. Whether you’re a young player looking for advice or just curious about what it takes to perform at this level, there’s a lot to take away.
This podcast is part of the wider content work we’re doing with Blackpool FC. The aim is simple — help tell stories that matter to the fans. Not overly polished or scripted, just honest conversations that bring supporters closer to the people at the heart of the club.
We believe in the power of content to build connections. You don’t always need big campaigns or flashy production to make an impact. Sometimes, the most valuable thing you can share is a conversation, especially one that shows a different side to someone you normally only see on the pitch.
Whether you’re a die-hard Tangerine or just someone who loves the game, give it a watch — it’s a great reminder that football’s not just about the 90 minutes on the pitch, it’s about the people who make it what it is.
