Joe Kirkman

Defender who has played for the Thirds, Fourths and Fifths. At the start of 2007-08 season he became the full time keeper fort the Fifths after filling in for the second match. Between the sticks Joe has found his calling. Superb shot stopper and not scared to come off his line and tackle a man (Presumably because he was once a fullback!) Nickname Joe.

Chris Knott

Once a robust centre-back or midfielder who has also been known to play in goal, Knotty has re-invented himself in 2006-07 as a striker. Scored a wonder goal against Old Ashtonians in Brabyns for the Fifths in September 2006. He took over the running of the third team in 2001-2002 and won the Philip Hambleton Trophy for special efforts on the club's behalf in May 2002. Famous for his "Not the Mellor FC Awards" on presentation night. He also fortune tells under the pseudonym of "The Oracle". Sells cars for a living, in fact it's said he's Arthur Daley's lovechild. Nickname: Knotty. DoB 2.12.77

Joel Lawton

Neat and tidy player who has appeared regularly in the third and fourth teams. He's particularly good in the air. Some people have compared him facially to the Viz character Roger Mellie (the man on the telly). Moved up to the third team in 2004-05. Nickname: Joel DoB 27.3.87

Martin Lipa

Excellent goalkeeper who arrived from Slovakia and joined the club early in 2007, playing for the Fifths. Very agile and a brilliant shot stopper. Left Mellor FC to play for FC United.

Matt Lloyd

Initially the Fifth Team keeper. He has progressed through the teams and made his First Team debut in a friendly against Glossop in July 2007. In season 2007-08 he played mostly in the Seconds. An excellent shop-stopper who is also not afraid to come and catch the ball under pressure.

Jamie Longson

First team defender. Quick, leggy and good in the air. Wears strange bandanas to training. Maybe he has a part in the Pirates of Penzance. Chosen as Ryan Giggs' body double in a TV commercial in April 2006. Nickname: Longshanks. DoB 17.9.82

Rob MacInnes

Midfielder who joined Mellor in December 2005 and made his debut for the Fourth Team in a 1-1 draw at home to Irlam Steel in January 2006. Played previously at Glossop North End.

Declan McManus

Joined in the summer of 2007, playing for the Fifths. The all-rounder. A joy to play with as he has all the tricks and the ability to play the key pass. Unlocks defences and is a constant menace to all the opposition. Great in the air and strong in a tackle. Fifth Team's leading scorer in 2007-08. Nickname Deco.

Matt McNulty

Paul Marsden

Joined Mellor in the summer of 2005, making his debut in open age football. DoB 15.8.89

Phil McGreal

Cunning striker who can score goals or set up colleagues. Played mainly in the second team until a loss of fitness early in the 2002-2003 season. But he worked hard and won his place back. Work commitments took a toll and in 2003-04 he played mainly played for the fourths. In 2004-05 he supported Ryan Yates and his touchline help and dressing room banter was a big factor in the side's championship win. Nickname: Tupper after comic character Alf Tupper because of his penchant for eating (burgers or chocolate bars) just before a game. Notorious dressing room joker. Won the Philip Hambleton Trophy for execptional work on the club's behalf in 2004-2005. He took over as Fourth Team manager in September 2005. His uncanny Dale Winton impression wowed the audience at Mellor's dinner dance in May 2006. In 2006-07 season he became joint manager of the Thirds with Mark Simms. DoB 19.9.73

Si Meats

Tough tackling, brave, full-back or central defender. Formerly a first team squad member but work patterns limited his appearances.

Kevin Murray

Joined Mellor in October 2004 and scored on his second team debut, coming on as a sub against Cheadle Hulme.

Joint leading goalscorer for the Second Team in 2005-06. DoB 9.2.82

Rick Monton

Gareth Murphy

Signed for Mellor September 2003, he made his debut at right-back for the second team in a friendly against Marfoam and impressed by handling experienced opponents.
