Yes he's a big Foxes fan, as it happens also a family friend of mine because of it, my dad has been going to matches with his brother for decades. For the first couple of years I started going as a young'un, David (Roy) was often there, and even gave me my first post-loss pep talk (after a crushing 3-0 defeat at Selhurst in the cup in which Matt Elliot played like a twat and then got sent off).

He also did a 'Goodbye Mr. O'Neill' to a customer after MON went. About the ignorant thing, its not like he came out and said it on record in an interview or anything, he literally just said 'F off you ignorant xxxxs' or something to that effect once, out of anger, at Old Trafford, upon getting a lot of grief. The Hayley/Corrie banter must have got really annoying at times, as I remember it happened a lot, and I reckon he just snapped this one time. Understandable, there's only so much being shouted at by boozed-up blokes laughing in your face one can take.

He was also heard on the phone reporting a problem with a piece of apparatus in the cafe, when asked what make it was he said 'It's a Kamaark' This was around the time we beat Boro in the Coca Cola cup final, and Pontuus had marked their star man - forget his name now - out of the game. There was a thread on a now long-lost forum all about Roys references. The Claridge one is true, although I thought he was talking about an old teacher of his, something like 'Ah yes, I'll never forget Mr Claridge'. It did happen though, I distinctly remember seeing it at the time.

Juninho? The little Brazillian. Or Ravanelli the silver haired Italian?

Juninho. Pontuus didnt let him have a kick in either game, brilliant. Best bit of man-marking ever seen, IMHO.

Pretty well known. I heard he once read out a serial number on the coffee machine when reporting a fault as LCFC1997.

That's true, I was watching it and nearly fell off the sofa. Good lad.

In a recent episode of corry Hayely was singing her favourite song in the bath ( there is always something there to remind me ) when Roy popped his head around the door and said your my Foxy lady ! of course he was wrong about the lady bit but it was still touching to hear it.

I wish you hadn't posted that, even more so I wish I hadn't clicked on it.

Unless you like pictures of a fat naked man with a tiny cock playing with his moobs, do not click on that link.

Now you tell me :(

I believe he worked as a gas fitter for British Gas at one time. Not entirely sure though.
