A Lancashire footballer who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease has sadly died aged 37.
George Melling who played for Blackpool FC, Morecambe, Altrincham, Northwich Victoria, Leyland Town, Kendal, Clitheroe FC, Colne FC and his home team Coppull, was diagnosed last January and sadly died earlier today.
Father-of-three Melling played for Vics during the 2013-14 season but his time at the club was cut short due to a serious Achilles injury.
The ex-defender was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in January 2021 and since then, friends, family and former teammates and managers – including those at Vics – have rallied round to support him and his family.
