Roy served the Club with distinction as both a player and coach. A true clubman he was prepared to play anywhere for the good of the team, but hooker was his preferred position. Signed from Stanley Rangers in 1983 he made 203 first team appearances scoring an impressive 40 tries. He played for 12 seasons at Hunslet and had the honour of being captain for 6 of them.
He became player/coach with A team winning Second Division title in his first season. He then became assistant coach to David Plange coach and was part of the coaching team that saw Hunslet play in the first ever Wembley Plate Final in 1997 against Hull KR and emerge victorious in the 1999 Championship Grand Final against Dewsbury. Roy became Head Coach in 2000 and was nominated for Coach of the Year in 2005.
Well respected by friends and foe alike, a true rugby league man.
