ROY SOULE
(MANAGER) |
|
Between 1968 and 1970, Roy played for Manchester United as a junior in The Lancashire League youth teams coached by Wilf McGuinness and John Aston Senior. Following his release from Old Trafford, he played semi pro football until being asked to join Crewe Alexandra where he played in the first team managed by Jimmy Melia. After Roy’s playing career had ended, he went onto manage five Clubs, namely Castleton Gabriels, Glossop North End, Caernarfon Town, Mossley and Droylsden. Roy’s in-depth knowledge of the game saw him take up subsequent scouting positions within The Football League at Crewe, Rotherham United and Oldham Athletic where he worked under Andy Ritchie, Mick Wadsworth and Iain Dowie. Upon returning to The UK after spells in Malta and America, Roy worked at Blundell Park scouting future opposition and prospective new players for Grimsby Town. He was appointed assistant manager at FC United of Manchester where he remained until the close season of 2012 and after joining the coaching staff at Church Lane, Roy was appointed first team manager upon Ally Pickering’s departure in October of the same year. |
