Mario Melchiot started his career at the Ajax Youth Academy and played for the first team in the 1996-1997 season. He played a key part in Ajax's famous Champions League run in 1996-1997 season. He went on to make 75 appearances for Ajax and scored one senior goal too. Primarily a right-back, Melchiot had the ability to play anywhere across the back line. His versatile nature as a defender made him even more wanted by the European giants.

In 1999, Mario moved to Chelsea from Ajax but failed to make it to the senior team due to injuries. In 2000, he finally made his first team debut in 1-1 draw vs Midlesborough. Melchiot went on to make more than 130 appearances for Chelsea and proved to be one of the most solid defenders of his era. Gradually, age caught up with Mario and he started to decline as a defender. The Dutch defender moved to Birmingham City in 2004 on a three-year contract.
