Ken Mellor (footballer)

Kenneth Edward Mellor (born 22 August 1934) was an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League for Mansfield Town and Swindon Town. Ken caught the eye of Leicester City scouts as a striker, scoring 99 goals in one season with Ashwell & Nesbitt, a works team from Barkby Road in Leicester. He was released by Leicester City without playing a first team game and was converted to a central defender by Mansfield Town manager Charlie Mitten due to his aerial ability.
