Aged only 26, the keeper tragically died from cancer ten years ago this summer, at the time he was still a Blades keeper and had it not been for the illness he would probably still be playing.

The record in question is for being the youngest ever player to appear in all four divisions of the Professional Football League.

Tomorrow sees the Mel Rees Memorial Tournament which will take place at the Blades 'Hallam FM Acadamy @ Sheffield United', more details will follow in our next article. Just visit www.sheffieldunited-mad.co.uk for front page news!
