Melchester Rovers - Player Transfers


Hi guys, thought I'd start another thread. Not sure if this subject has come up before, but does anyone have a complete season-by-season rundown on player transfers in/out of Melchester Rovers over the years?

That's a great list Statos, thanks. Do you know if Nikos is going to post a list for the previous era?

I think Neville Jones transferred from Melton, while Paco Diaz transferred to Real Varagosa (1983/84 season).

Tomorrow I will add the era 1966-76...

Great work on those lists of player transfers, guys. Think that just leaves the years 55-66 and 76-79 to be covered.

Re: Melchester Rovers - Player Transfers


What have been Rovers transfer records? I think Andy Maclaren for $3,00,000 is the highest. I think Mervyn Wallace also held the highest transfer fee at the time ($250,000). I've no idea of the highest transfer fee received to let a player leave Rovers. Any ideas?

Re: Melchester Rovers - Player Transfers


Here's what I know regarding Rovers' record signings over the years ...

1955/56: Arty Hedlow (from Elbury Wanderers - £10,000)
1968/69: Douglas Ballard (from Carford United - £150,000)
1972/73: Mervyn Wallace (from Cranville United - fee?)
1975/76: Duncan McKay (from Portdean - £300,000)
1978/79: Paco Diaz (from Zaragosa - £700,000)
1989/90: Andy Maclaren (from Glenrath Celtic, £3 million)

Not sure about record fees received for outgoing players, but I guess Geoff Giles could be a contender when he transferred to Melboro during the 1980/81 season.

Re: Melchester Rovers - Player Transfers


I cant add too much about record signings and stuff, what i can add is

Glen Ritchie came from a club called Highland Wanderers

Olly Olsen came from Sporting Hagen

and Paco Diaz left to goto Real Varagosa.

Bruce Miller was quoted as going to Dunston Town, yet he reappeared at Carlton. Maybe a writing error, or possibly he made another quick move emoticon

Re: Melchester Rovers - Player Transfers


Ive just bought issues of TIGER off ebay, from 1977.

ROTR was still a strip in the comic at this time, and theres a story about a certain Stan Frazer who joined Melchester for 250k, anyone know anything about him?
