Читать книгу Shirts, Shorts and Spurs - Roy Reyland - Страница 2

‘I have many fond memories of working with Roy, first with the reserves and then the first team. Roy is a true professional and could always be relied upon. We became colleagues in October 1984, and Roy’s knowledge and experience were invaluable to me in those early days as we forged a great working relationship. That quickly became an even greater friendship. Roy is a credit to the club, and one thing is for certain: he is Spurs through and through.’

Doug Livermore

‘The only downside to Roy’s career as kit manager at Spurs was that he threatened my spot in our very able staff team! But seriously, his dedication and loyalty to his club have shown through over the years and his great personality in good and bad times was always appreciated by myself and the rest of the management team.’

Peter Shreeves

‘Roy’s dedication and enthusiasm was always visible and nothing was ever too much trouble for our loyal kit man. When I was a player, he was brilliant, and this always carried on until I became part of the management side of the club. Roy is a credit to his profession.’

Ray Clemence

‘I promoted Roy to the first team, and it was a decision I never regretted. His loyalty to the team and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club was second to none during my time at Spurs. As such, Roy is recognised throughout the game as a true professional.’

David Pleat

‘Roy Reyland has been part of the Tottenham scene almost as long as I can remember. Kit men come and go, but Roy’s loyalty and fantastic attitude has become part of the very fabric of White Hart Lane. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and, what’s more, I am very proud to be able to call him a friend.’
