There's been quite a bit of activity on Twitter regarding his demise and my HOL article resurfaced. Was he in Australia do you know?

Photo of Roy sitting next to Terry Long, August 1962. My older brother has always said Roy was just as important to Palace when we got promoted in 1960/1 as the great Johnny Byrne. They dovetailed together and neither would have been as good without the other alongside.
