About Roy

Energetic midfield player possessed of a powerful shot from distance. One of the most improved players with Slough Town is right-half and vice captain Roy Nairn. Roy is the brother of another Rebel, Alec.

This is his fourth season with the Rebels and he credits Bob Gibbs with the improvement he has made while at the Dolphin.

Like his brother, Roy joined Slough after spells with Wembley and Yiewsley, and during his first year at Slough he was on Chelsea's books.

Roy began his football career at school In Ealing and quickly established himself in the school side and in the Ealing and District Schools representative eleven. After leaving school at 15 he went to Brentford Juniors, moving on to Yiewsley when he was 17. He was still with Yiewsley when he went into the army and did not leave the club until he was dernobbed.

During his National Service Roy captained his unit and played for the R.O.A.C. in Germany.

Like his brother, Roy is a Post time engineer and represented the London Civil Service team which won the Civil Service Challenge Cup last season. In the final, Roy. playing at inside-right, scored two of his sides four goals. Roy is easily recognised on the field by his high stepping stride. Not so easily noticeable, however, is his intelligent positional play from which he helps setup many dangerous attacking moves,.

When Roy is not playing football he likes to play golf regularly or sit with a good book or some classical music. Apart from Slough Town F.C. Roy is a Brentford fan in particular and a real football fanatic in general

Later played for Staines Town and assisted their management team.
