That was around the Checkatrade Wembley trip I think, I remember getting an email in the early hours. He’s a credit to the club for me.I seem to recall an article / interview mentioned at one point he was working something like16hr days and that his wife was less than impressed.
Don't ask me where from I've no idea and before anyone else says it, no I'm not him
My memory ain’t too good these days, but wasn’t it Mel Holden who was always given stick for being slow to a ball or easily robbed, but years later it was discovered that he was suffering from a muscle waisting disease?
Aye I think he died when he was about 23 might be wrong but I think he had multiple sclerosis.
( To the tune of Rule Britannia) Rule Mel Holden, Mel Holden rules the skies?
Aye I thought it was 28 just after I wrote it but 26 that’s sad mate was he still with us or had he left because of his illness?
Not bad goals per game ratio for us 23 in 73 appearances, wished we had someone like that today. He died of Motor Neurone Disease in 1981.
What a day that was.
We went to buy Frank Worthington and came back with a Boblee hat as the joke went around at the time.. A magnificent looking footballer; that's where it ended. Another **** buy
Always sticks in my mind. Remember at the Bolton game 75-76 promotion season being crushed in the Roker end (well over 50k there)
Yeah remember it well
