Former Manchester City star Ian Mellor has died at the age of 74 after a battle with illness.

Mellor had been suffering from amyloidosis, a rare disease which affects the internal organs.

The news was announced by his son Neil, the former Liverpool forward and now Sky Sports pundit.

'My Dad, My Hero, I love you,' Mellor wrote.

'Thank you for everything. 19/02/1950 - 01/05/2024.

'We are all absolutely devastated to have lost my Dad.

'Big thanks to St Ann’s Hospice and all their brilliant staff who helped during those last days as he battled so hard against amyloidosis.'
