We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Roger Bexon.

Roger was a huge part of the Mellish family and will be remembered as a true gentleman. He was always a pleasure to be around, brought a smile to everyone’s face, and was an absolute diamond on the karaoke. Roger lived life to the fullest and was a fantastic supporter of the women’s section, always encouraging us and supporting us both on and off the pitch.

He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Our thoughts are with his wife, Angela, and all of Roger’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

RIP Roger 🖤💚💛
