Introducing Mick Melia

Introducing our pool team, Hustlers X.
This week we profile Mick Melia.


Mick was born in Liverpool and is the son of former Liverpool footballer Terry Mcdermott and Cilla Black.  Mick's favourite song is Ferry Across the Mersey by Gerry and the Pacemakers and sings it everywhere he goes, all day long.

Mick is a Liverpool FC fan and his favourite player ever is Kenny Dalglish.  Mick has over 400 pictures of Kenny plastered all over the walls at home and states "well big chopper, it saves on wallpaper dunnit?  The cat's not too keen but that's upto her big chopper."  Mick makes a vigil upto Glasgow every Tuesday to sit outside Kenny's house all night trying to catch a glimpse of his hero.  He now owns a restraining order sent by Kenny himself (via solicitors) which he had framed and takes pride of place on his mantlepiece.

Feckin yee agan ye fecken cunt?  Will yee stop sitting

ootside me hoose every feckin Chooosdy ye feckin cunt ye.

Not to be put off by the restraining order, Mick now writes to Kenny every Monday just so it'll reach him by Tuesday.  We got sent a copy of the last one by Kenny which is a poignant poem dedicated to Kenny himself:


Hello there dear Kenny,
I received the order,
And so I framed it,
And showed it my daughter.

I come to your house
Every Tuesday I'm certain,
I creep over your lawn
And look through your curtains.

Although you have banned me,
Dismayed we are not,
I wish you were my father
Instead of Terry Mcdermott.

Love, Mick.



Beautiful.
Kenny then sent us a Christmas card that Mick had made especially for Kenny:

We especially like the Robin, it's a lovely card.

Mick has been playing pool for 62 years now and has achieved everything in the game including being the drunkest player EVER to have won a frame at Yarmouth.  His favourite player is Nick the Brief, Mick says "Well big chopper, big chopper's my favourite player cos he just gets pissed big chopper."
