Clubs:West Ham Utd, Liverpool, Wigan Athletic (loan)
Position: Striker

The Sheffield born striker made his first mark on the game as a fresh-faced rookie striker for Liverpool, grabbing memorable goals for the Reds.

Mellor's most famous strikes for Liverpool came against Olympiakos in the year that the Reds won the Champions League trophy and a last minute winner against Arsenal.

Those goals proved to be the striker's highlights at Anfield and after surgery on both knees he was loaned out to West Ham and Wigan.

Further injury problems hampered his time on loan and in the summer of 2006 he was signed by North End boss Paul Simpson on a three-year-deal.

The striker was limited to just seven appearances in his first full season for the Lilywhites but was the Club's top scorer as Alan Irvine's side battled against relegation in the 2007/08 campaign.

Mellor continued that form in the 2008/09 campaign and in October 2009 saw his contract extended until the summer of 2012.
