It could have been any of the Southampton side that day. They were absolutely filthy and set out to kick every Palace player that day.

RIP Mel.

Very sad news. Very fond memories of watching him play for us. R.I.P.

They were all at it trying to stop Taylor ,I just recall Blyth being one of them .
Remembering that game still hurts and Southampton have been my most hated team ever since .Maybe him just returning to Palace colours was enough to set me off

And we still need a striker

Another sad loss a player from my schoolboy days. One small quirky memory of Mel was a picture that was in the newspaper, the picture caught him in an aerial challenge and you could clearly see he still had his wrist watch on !

My condolences to his friends and family RIP Mel.

South London born and bred
red and blue till im dead.
