Sad news indeed. Many happy memories of days at the Goldstone in the 1970's with Ward and Mellor in full flow.
One of the first players I remember playing for the Albion, RIP big man

Such sad news.
My NSC username reflects one of the best (half) games of football that I saw at The Goldstone.
His partnership with Wardy goes down as (IMO) probably the best striking partnership The Albion has ever had (certainly in my lifetime)
RIP Spider.

That's really sad. A true hero of the Albion
I'll remember the game he lost Ward 4 Mellor 3.

I was at that game. Unforgettable second half with all SEVEN goals being scored Spider and Wardy were a superb partnership upfront. Thanks for everything Ian.
An Albion great. RIP Spider

Before my time, but definitely a name I am familiar with as my newly acquired Albion mates would speak highly of him very often.
Very sad news. RIP.

RIP Spider 🕷 
Exciting and great player for us.
I don't think assists were recorded or tracked back then but I seem to recall an awful lot of Ward's goals were Mellor assists, or has my memory fogged?
