Kenneth Edward Mellor (22 August 1934 – 6 January 2021) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Mansfield Town and Swindon Town. Ken caught the eye of Leicester City scouts as a striker, scoring 99 goals in one season with Ashwell & Nesbitt, a works team from Barkby Road in Leicester. He was released by Leicester City without playing a first team game and was converted to a central defender by Mansfield Town manager Charlie Mitten due to his aerial ability.
Mellor died in Leicester on 6 January 2021, at the age of 86.[1]
