An insight into the life of Ian “Spider” Mellor

Supporter event: An insight into the career of one of Sale’s sporting heroes Ian Mellor will be shared at Sale Sports Club on Clarendon Crescent on Friday, October 18, from 7.00 pm.

Ian played for his boyhood idols Manchester City in the 1970s against legends like George Best, Bobby Moore, Billy Bremner, Sir Geoff Hurst and Kevin Keegan.

The Mellor family have a rare claim to fame – Ian’s son Neil followed in his dad’s footsteps by playing at the top level for Liverpool.

Neil and other family members will be there to share stories about Ian, who died of a rare disease in May, aged 74.

Known as Spider due to his lanky legs, Ian was so embarrassed by his physique that he skipped lessons to avoid playing for his school team in front of spectators.

Ian’s autobiography Spider was published days before he died in St Ann’s Hospice. The book costs £10 and all proceeds are donated to the charity which is building a new hospice adjoining its current Heald Green site.

The Mellor family are hoping to raise enough funds to have a bedroom named in Ian’s memory.

AK-OK 80’s Rewind Charity Disco

Supporter Event: In January 2022, Mark Buckley, Mike Griffin, John Griffin and Alan Keegan, four childhood friends, met in a pub in South Manchester to explore organising a charity event which would make a difference. AK-OK’s first 80’s Rewind Charity Disco was a tremendous success, raising in excess of £21,000 for charity with an evening of music, dance and having the craic which have been in very much in short supply during and since the pandemic.

Now, they are joined by friend Liam Dennehy to create another fundraiser that will include all the things that we all enjoyed at the last 80’s Rewind Charity Disco and raise money for a worthwhile cause.

So that is how we came up with AK-OK Disco 80’s rewind in aid of St Ann’s Hospice!

With that in mind, we are asking you to come along and support our fundraising event which is taking place on Friday 13th September 2024 at Stockport County F.C. Hardcastle Road, Edgeley SK3 9DD.

The event will feature the band Bet Shop Boys and special guest DJs Andy Murphy, Alex Speed, Ollie Mullooly, Liam Dennehy, Greg McNally alongside AK-OK.
