Ian Mellor RIP

[Vienna_70]

Ian was a close friend of mine. Playing for City meant the world to him. As did being a grandad of eight, taking great delight in teasing the odd one that turned into a Red. He knew his fate at Christmas but fought bravely till the end, even attending matches until recently. Had a pint with him before the Madrid game days before he went into St Ann’s Hospice. There was no bigger Blue - Denis Law was his hero. A gentle man and so proud of his club and his family. I’ll miss you Spider. Andy Buckley

Deepest Condolences from Mrs Vienna and me.

Was only watching YouTube on Monday night and it included him scoring a cracker for Norwich v West Ham in the 73-74 season.

Ian scored a goal in the first City game a day after I was put on this earth. Him and Rodney scoring in the 2-2 draw with Valencia.
