Bryan Roy

Bryan Eduard Steven Roy (born 12 February 1970) is a Dutch football manager and a former professional player.

[4][5][6] After Forest's 1996–97 season ended in relegation from the Premiership, Roy moved to Germany in a £1.5 million switch to Hertha BSC.

His 24 career goals for Forest stood as the Club's Premier League record until it was surpassed by Chris Wood on 7 December 2024.

[12] Because of his tweet, Roy was convicted of threatening the prime minister and sentenced to 80 hours of community service under two years' probation.
