Micky’s other great attributes are talent spotting and player development. Most notably, he took a chance on Halifax Town striker, Jamie Vardy who yielded 34 goals in 40 games and took Fleetwood to 29 games unbeaten and to reach the Football League for the first time in their history. Mellon has also nurtured the likes of future £50m defender, John Stones.
