Mel Nurse

[Darran]

The man who saved our club,he hasnt been too well recently so Trunds went to visit him yesterday.

A man who genuinely loves our club, not like some others that claimed to.

 

[Ronald Parp]

We have a lot to be grateful to him for.

Hope he's fighting fit soon - I lived next door to the Seahaven in my 2nd year of Uni; he onec knocked on our door and said I was 'disturbing the peace' for playing my guitar at 2 in the afternoon. Fair enough, I was almost certainly absolutely shit at that point.

Spot on. Get well soon Mel. Hope the last 2 results cheered him up.

For me Mel is present in so many of my memories of following the Swans.
Keep well Mel.

Where the term Club Legend is almost an understatement.

I was chatting with Mel back in 1999-2000 season about the time when he got sent off against Leeds in the FA Cup, and he said that ‘Sniffer’ had kicked him and Mel had reacted and caught him with a cracker of a punch and put him down. I think that Mel was targeted that day and the ref was only too happy to send him off.
Get well soon Mel.

Great anecdote but wrong season - he was 62 at the time

I was talking to a youngster about Sniffer last week saying how he had a radar to be in the right place at the right time to sniff out a goal.

I’m sorry I didn’t explain it very well. I was talking to Mel at that time about the Leeds cup match when we played them at Elland Road in 1970. I was there behind the goal opposite their Kop. We lost 2-1. I have a very good memory of that game. We were robbed again.
I also still have the programme.

That was obvious to me bud, but some are a bit slower.
