This morning, I have only just heard of the passing of former Rowdie - Dave Mehmet,
who died on the 9th April, 2024, at the age of 63, having suffered a stroke.
Dave was a skillful midfielder for Millwall, and made 153 appearances for the club.
He played at The Den over two spells between 1977 and 1981,before rejoining
them from 1986 to 1988.
He joined the Rowdies in 1981, to link up with former
Millwall manager Gordon Jago, for a transfer fee of £120,000.
After a year in the States, he returned to England, with Charlton Athletic
paying £80,000 for his services.
He netted twice in 29 league matches for the Addicks and, having been released
by the south London club, was signed by Gillingham, on a free transfer in March 1983.
Gills’ manager Keith Peacock, his assistant, Paul Taylor, and the club’s chief scout,
Ted Buxton, had all been at the Rowdies while Mehmet was there.
I would like to express my condolences to Dave’s family and friends at this sad time.
