20 years, in a flash. I remember Roy making his debut, never a flashy player, but the hardest working I think I've seen. He was a great player then, but with today's fitness techniques and his build and engine I think he'd be a legend of a player now. Him and Medley were a great combination for us, and then Bradford.
I once met him and the other Bradford players in a night club after they'd beaten Wigan over there one Friday evening. Roy was an absolute gent, and the only person I've ever seen whose fingers met around the rim of a pint glass.
You're missed big man.
I was once at Naughton Park and Northern were coming out of the tunnel. I had my face pressed against the plastic and Roy gave it a love tap right opposite my nose. The whole thing shook for about 30 seconds. 7/8 year old me absolutely jumped out of my skin and left a brown stain in my Y Fronts.
