ROB MELLOR

It is with sadness that I must pass on the news that Rob Mellor passed away this weekend. Rob had been playing regularly with Gorton since 2013 right up to the current season. He also played in the Manchester League. Our sympathy goes to his family, friends and teammates at this very sad time.
