Roy McDonough

[Rob1920]

Only just got around to reading his book, nearly finished it as I type. God what a nightmare he must have been to deal with! I can feel a hangover coming on just reading about how much he was drinking. I think some poetic license must have been at play, I mean can anyone seriously drink 30 pints in one session and live?

Wish I could afford to buy 30 pints in a session, let alone drink them all!.

Indeed, superb book

Why this ongoing interst in a person I saw as an average one who was basically a thug?

 

[Rob1920]

Love him or hate him he had cult-hero status, probably because he gave everything every time he went on the pitch, something a lot of younger players nowadays could learn from. I don't think he was ever more than 3rd / 4th div standard despite what he obviously thinks from his book, but he always gave 100% even if he did over do it at times.

Because he was one of the last players anyone would call average.

Ask David Crown or Richard Cadette.

Hope that doesn't mean he's going to get thrown out after 20 minutes!
Seriously, the true value of Roy as a player is reflected in the performances of those strikers that flourished alongside him!
Not sure I'd want to spend an evening listening to him talking about drinking, fighting, drinking, red cards and drinking though.

You forgot to mention the birds(as he calls them). He won't forget tho.

Who was the guy running the night.

I thought he was excellent and rendered Hawksbee surplus to requirements.
