Great turn out crowd wise aswell if I remember rightly for an evening game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after the presentation, Bunion says to Melly 'How did you get that?' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meldrum was THE backup keeper for most my time following killie in the 90's. Apparently didn't leave till 2004! Only 45 years old, also from killie. Anyone know who he supports?

He was a Kilmarnock fan growing up, used to run rings round him as a child, unfortunately so did most professionals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Wasn’t the worst I’ve seen by far. Harpur and Dueberdue were terrible and the Welsh goalie that Lee Clarke brought in. Changed days from having Alan McCulloch as the number two. Still my favourite ever Killie keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Meldrum despite his limited talents had a reasonable career though mostly as a back up keeper ......though I was never confident when he did play for us But he was miles ahead of “little” Chad Harpur......still get shivers recalling his so called performance for us especially v Gretna Edited December 23, 2020 by Scouser2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojike and Bod Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 A diabolical goalkeeper. Does anyone have the link to the 6 goals he shipped at Stirling? Tommy Tait even lobbed him FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Tait even lobbed him FFS. He was far from the worst IMO, but having said that very very far from the best also! We were spoiled for goalies in those days and he was nothing like the quality of Stewart, McCulloch, Lekovic, Marshall, etc so got it in the neck. Also like a lot of our home grown "talent" he seemed to get a rougher ride from the fans than the signings. Think his confidence and his reputation both took a big knock on the first day of a season when we were well in a game against DeadCo at Greyskull and he fumbled one in under next to no pressure. From then on I think the nerves and the pressure got the better of him. The season when our two main keepers were Melly and Dubourdeau was truly depressing. Dubourdeau - now he was TRULY diabolical! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojike and Bod Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 He was appalling. Anyone who travelled to Nice will testify he also sold the jerseys that night. Never came off his line, couldn’t take a cross, inspired no confidence in the defence. Utter garbage. Yes there have been one or two who were worse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Melly claiming he was a sheep. He's about 8/9 months older than me. He'd probably have become interested in football round about the time they were winning everything, and we were getting leathered off Dundee united etc? Early 80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he managed to crock one of our centre backs (Lauclan?) early and a young kid midfielder came on. We were up against it most of he game. Both Reilly and Michael Jeffrey scored that day so it was a strange one all round!

Harrogate Peter Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Yes Davidson was the young lad. If I remember the incident Meldrum came charging to the edge of box, slid in and made contact with Jim Lauchlan. It was early on either just before or just after Mavis scored. The two other goals were pretty late on and I remember it being a struggle as we were under pressure but Meldrum didn't need to do much! Thanks for posting highlights one of the happier memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
