[Albion] Ian Mellor

[LamieRobertson]

Definitely the best Albion striker partnership of my teenage years - Mellor and Ward - RIP Spider

The best striker partnership of all my years imo

RIP Ian

 

[Titanic]

Sad news indeed. Many happy memories of days at the Goldstone in the 1970's with Ward and Mellor in full flow.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

One of the first players I remember playing for the Albion, RIP big man

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Such sad news.

My NSC username reflects one of the best (half) games of football that I saw at The Goldstone.

His partnership with Wardy goes down as (IMO) probably the best striking partnership The Albion has ever had (certainly in my lifetime)

RIP Spider.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Very sad news. The guy was younger than me , a good deal fitter and he dies of something I have never heard of..
we have wonderful memories of Mellor and Ward. Thank you Ian, RIP

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

An Albion legend from a great era.
Condolences to his family.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Oh no…

Terrible news.

My Dad’s favourite player…

What a season with Ward in 76/77

RIP

RIP Spider, thanks for some great memories.

That Walsall game being just one.

Sad day

I was at that game. Unforgettable second half with all SEVEN goals being scored Spider and Wardy were a superb partnership upfront. Thanks for everything Ian.

 

[Guinness Boy]

An Albion great. RIP Spider

That will be ‘that’ Walsall game…nil nil HT? …yep I was there …bit of rain…got a bit wet (if memory serves me correct), but who cared

 

[Hotchilidog]

Before my time, but definitely a name I am familiar with as my newly acquired Albion mates would speak highly of him very often.

Very sad news. RIP.

 

[Lord Charles]

Oh no... RIP Spider, probably my favourite player from my younger days

 

[Ghost of Killer Reeves]

Opening day of ‘74/‘75 season his debut v Palace. Thank you for all the great memories.

RIP Spider
Great memories as a boy
On my stool in the chicken run

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

RIP Spider 🕷
Exciting and great player for us.

I don't think assists were recorded or tracked back then but I seem to recall an awful lot of Ward's goals were Mellor assists, or has my memory fogged?
