What a player! A supreme example of the winning mentality and a natural ability to overcome adversity! Just done some online research……. nine league titles, eight FA Cups, three League Cups, three European Cups, one UEFA Cup, and four Cup Winners' Cups...... And?..... That’s despite an helicopter crash, being kidnapped at least 5 times, spending several weeks in a coma after a shooting and witnessing 8 fellow team members being killed in a explosion in which Roy himself suffered a dislocated shoulder.
The difference in individual personal and playing qualities between Roy and Franck Tabanou is stark! |
You forgot the bit about the drinking, the orgies and the wild sniff sessions. All took it's toll on poor Roy. Now lives in a council flat and is seen quite often either at the bookies or the local Nisa shop buying bottles of Frosty Jack and Rustlers microwave burgers. |  |

They are apparently going back to the start of Roy’s career with Melchester in a more modern format.

Roy's going to be a serial diver and then get caught being blown by a prozzie, with the video posted all over twitter. The kids'll love the modern twist. | | | |
