John William Mellor (born 1896, date of death unknown) was an English footballer who played for New Mills and Port Vale in the 1920s.
Career
[edit]Mellor played for New Mills before joining Port Vale in an amateur capacity in April 1920.[1] He made nine Second Division appearances in the 1920–21 season before returning to old club New Mills, most probably sometime in 1922.[1] However, he rejoined the Vale in July 1923, this time signing as a professional.[1] Again though he failed to make much of an impression at The Old Recreation Ground. He was released at the end of the season after just six games; once again, he returned to New Mills.[1]
