After his stint in Italy, Roy moved to England, where Nottingham Forest acquired him for a record fee of £2.5 million. His first season was remarkable, helping the team finish third in the Premier League and qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Roy earned 32 caps for the Netherlands national team, scoring nine goals. He participated in two FIFA World Cups (1990 and 1994) and UEFA Euro 1992, with his standout moment being the late match-winner against Morocco in the 1994 World Cup.

Club career

Born in Amsterdam, Roy started his professional playing career at Ajax, making his debut in the first team under manager Johan Cruyff against FC Twente on 6 September 1987. He later won the Dutch Eredivisie in the 1989-90 season and the UEFA Cup in 1992. In November 1992, Roy was sold to the Italian club Foggia and replaced as left winger by Marc Overmars. During his time in Italy, he represented his country at the 1994 World Cup, scoring once as the Netherlands reached the quarter-finals. After the World Cup, he moved to England after Nottingham Forest paid their record fee of £2.5 million for his services. Roy's first season at the City Ground was a success, as he provided a strong partnership with Stan Collymore. He helped the newly promoted side finish third in the Premiership and qualify for the UEFA Cup – the first time Forest had achieved European qualification in the post-Heysel era. Collymore was sold to Liverpool in the summer of 1995, although Forest did reach the UEFA Cup quarter-finals. His first-team opportunities were limited by injury and form in 1996–97, and Roy decided to leave England. After Forest's 1996–97 season ended in relegation from the Premiership, Roy moved to Germany in a £1.5 million transfer 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. In 2000, he returned to his homeland and played for NAC Breda, where he remained until retiring in 2002.
