NON-LEAGUE football truly is one big family. That was in real evidence this weekend as nine clubs pulled together to help support their former defender George Melling in his fight with motor neurone disease. A hardy group of fans, former teammates and coaches hit the road to cycle between all nine of Melling’s former clubs. Northwich Victoria was one stop en route, with Vics fans Colin Buckley, Jimmy Maddock and Jamie Dewsbury joining the ride at Wincham Park and cycling around 30 miles to Leek Town FC. Overall, the ride helped push the funds raised to support Melling, his fiancée Nicci and their three children to just under £12,000.
