Ian Mellor RIP

Sad to hear, member of the 1st City team I can recall as a young child.
According to Wiki stated that he was suffering from amyloidosis, which if I recall correctly was the same condition that Colin Bell had.
 
Remember seeing"Spider's" gangly legs, jinking in and outside defenders in my formative years at Maine Road
Think we sold him to Norwich, which I remember being sad about. Would have been a great squad player in the modern era.
Sad loss , RIP blue
 
From an era when football, as a sport, was more enjoyable than it is now. Don't get me wrong; this period we've enjoyed since we were founded in 2008 has been beyond anything that I could have dreamed of. But watching other games; I don't get the same entertainment as I did, even 10 years ago, never mind 50 years ago. If it isn't VAR, it's overpaid prima donnas playing for clubs these days. Plus; the general feeling that it's a business now, as much as it is a sport. Anyway; rant over. My condolences to Ian's family on their sad loss. RIP Ian; say hello to Mike, Glyn, Colin, Neil and Francis for all of us.

Arthur, George, Harry, Ken, Stan too.

Very sad news.

Another one from the squad gone from when I started following City, but because he wasn’t as high-profile as some of his squad mates, I only just remember him.

As others have said, 74 is no age nowadays.

R. I. P. Ian.

I was thinking more about players from his era. Think most of them were before him? Apologies to those I missed out on.
