Norwich City and Scunthorpe United
Mel Blyth started his football career with non-league Great Yarmouth. He then joined Norwich City, although he never made an appearance in the first team.
When, in October 1967, former Norwich manager, Ron Ashman, took up the reins at Scunthorpe United, then struggling at the foot of Division 3, he returned to his old club to sign several players, including Steve Deere, Geoff Barnard and Mel Blyth to shore up the holes in the defence.
Unfortunately, Scunthorpe were relegated at the end of the 1967-68 season and in July 1968, Mel moved on to Crystal Palace.

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or united:
“Behold now this vast city; a city of refuge, the mansion house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with his protection; the shop of war hath not there more anvils and hammers waking, to fashion out the plates and instruments of armed justice in defence of beleaguered truth, than there be pens and hands there, sitting by their studious lamps, musing, searching, revolving new notions.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“All comes united to th’ admiring eyes;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
