DT Cameos>> Mario Melchiot

 

Netherlands International signed to Chelsea F.C at the same time of Karl Fletcher's second stint back with the Dragons. In the pre-season of 2003-04, Karl is sold by the club to Al-Arabi Sports Club in Saudi Arabia, and after more than a decade in the Harchester line-up, is given a testimonial as the first team play an All Star XI team. Mario is on this side along with Harchester's coach Andy Ansah and former player and Sky Sports pundit Rodney Marsh.

 

In the January transfer window of the season, Marcel Sabatier wants a transfer, and Stuart makes an approach to an interested Mario in joining. When Pilar Hernandez refuses Marcel's request, he goes on television to air his grievances, which results in Stuart having to hold a press conference to confirm Marcel will not be leaving, culling Mario's signing and not allowing he the rest his injured knee needs.
