    Default Mel James

    Reported to have passed away yesterday.

    Remember him breaking his leg in 73 against the Australians. It took about 18 months to fix IIRC but he came back a better player.

    RIP Mel

    Very sad news, even though he "went north" his dad regularly came with a coach load of his family, friends and fans from South Wales to support him at home matches

    Mel James, a great ambassador for our club, always conducted himself in a manner expected of a Saint. Rated him highly but thought he lost some speed after that lengthy injury apainst the Aussies. Fully deserved to be in the Hall of Fame.
    RIP Mel. Thoughts go out to his family at this sad time.
