Adie Campbell.
Hasn't played now for Mellor now for a couple of seasons. He is an ex-first team star with a deceptively relaxed style, he seems to bounce off defenders and still emerge with the ball. Claims he's an excellent goalie but is too valuable outfield to leave between the sticks. Scored one of the greatest ever goals in Mellor's history away to Spurley Hey in 2002-2003 season when he beat five men in a run from inside his own half. Fractured his jaw against Fletcher Moss at the end of 2002-03 season but returned to score a fantastic goal in the Stockport Senior Cup Final in May 2003. Shocked the club by quitting to join Fletcher Moss for the 2003-04 season but rejoined Mellor in December 2003 after his new club nosedived to the relegation zone. They finished bottom of Division Two. Helped to turn the Stockport Senior Cup Final Mellor's way in May 2005 and had a hand in both goals in a 2-0 win. Nickname: Adie. DoB 1.4.77
Damien Collinge
Joined Mellor FC before the start of season 2007-08 after time out from the beautiful game. A skilful full back who did not take long to find his form again. The "Voice" of the back four (in the Fifth team) and a natural leader. Great passing ability and links up very well with the midfield. He often gets into positions to create for the attackers. Nickname: Damo
Niel Duffy
Played for the Thirds in 2007-08 but then left to live in Australia.
Jonny Davies
Ex Matlock Town, he is a qualified coach and runs his own soccer school. Made his Mellor debut in September 2007 for the Thirds in a 3-1 win at home to Old Stocs.
Stuart Cumpsty
Returned to the club after some 25 years in March 2007 and made his debut in a 2-1 win for the Fourths against Old Ashtonians. He left Mellor to play semi pro football, notably for Curzon Ashton.

Newcomer in 2001-2002 season, his all-action midfield style could fit easily into a Duracell commercial. First Team Player of the Year 2001-2002. Played mainly in the Seconds in 2007-08 but really a First Team squad player. Every team needs a Scott. Nickname: Scott. DoB 20.9.76
Chris Coram
Wide midfielder or left back for the first team, an unsung hero who links up play well and rarely wastes a ball without grabbing the limelight for himself too often. DoB 10.1.85
Paul Cornwall.
Ran the third team successfully in 2000-2001. Combative midfield general, with a dodgy knee. But he usually plays through the pain barrier. Has appeared more in hospital than Dr Benson from ER. Took part in the sponsored bike ride in 2000. Came on as a sub and scored a wonder goal against Gatley to help the First Team win promotion in 2002-03.Volunteered to run the fourth team in 2004-05. Nickname: Corny. DoB 2.9.74
Jon Cosgrove
Stylish performer who can play as an attacking full back, midfielder or striker and often fulfils all three roles in the same game! In terms of fitness an inspiration to the younger generation. However, his wife has tried to convince him that there is more pleasure in caravanning! Ex first team regular now starring in the second team, where in 2003-04 he was highest goalscorer and second top goalscorer the following season. Nickname: Cossy. DoB 2.11.68
Barry Dalby
Quality midfielder who can also get forward and score as Mellor found out in season 2002-03 when he netted twice against us in the Stockport Senior Cup semi-final. Joined us from Poynton in the close season. Played mainly in midfield but also thrown up front on occasions. He scored the vital goal which ensured Mellor's promotion to the Premier Division, as we beat Burnage Metro 1-0 in April 2004 to finished Division Two runners-up. Won the (joint) leading goalscorer medal for the first team in 2003-04 and was also named Players' Player of the Year. Nickname: Baz or Barry. DoB 16.5.85.
Simon Dawson
Joined the club in 2005 and established himself as a central defender in the fourth team, helping the side to the Hellawell Shield Final in May 2005. In the summer of 2005 he somehow found himself in a London photographer's studio and if you click on his face you'll see the result. DoB
Pete Davey.
Brave goalkeeper who needs to show a little more consistency before he can challenge for a second team spot. A safe pair of hands especially when carrying a round of drinks from the bar in Kelly's nightclub! Nickname: PD. DoB 30.4.83
Johnny Downey
Goalkeeper. Played in the Fifth team in 2005-06 but made his league debut in 2006-07 in the Thirds in a 4-2 home win against Parrs Wood Celtic and saved a crucial penalty. He played his early football (seven years) with Glossop Juniors. Third Team Player of the Year in 2006-07.
