Fuck knows what's gone on but he lives in Atherton. I reckon hes gone to make peace where his Dad died as he was on foot and was reported missing. Didnt really know the lad but hes left behind two young girls and a wife. Its point towards suicide but who knows. Apparently doesnt drink either. Absolute madness. Fuckin hell pal, I’ll tell you what life takes some unfathomable paths sometimes, what a process to comprehend and deal with. Look after those close to you. X

January 16, 20242 yr I often think modern footballers have bigger and more clearly defined muscles, particularly around the knees. Looking at that, Roy was ahead of his time.

Crikey, it's a wonder they weren't knackered beyond repair after a while. Interesting approaches to training and fitness in those days. No "science" as such, and making do with simple things.
