Messages of condolence

We are so sad to hear of Mel’s passing and so sad we are unable to attend his memorial service but he will be in our thoughts. Mel was part of a very happy part of my early life and was the best footballer from Corsham in my opinion, it was always good to see him and chat. You’ll be missed Mel.
