CRYSTAL CLEAR
Mr Roy has had a long and distinguished career in football management but it’s fair to say his most recent gigs haven’t quite gone as well as he would have liked. An inauspicious spell as England manager ended in humiliation at the hands of Iceland at Euro 2016, a result that put the tin hat on a reign in which he was able to mastermind just three victories across four major tournaments. A famous polyglot, Mr Roy was then able to eff and jeff in five different languages as Crystal Palace won just four of their final 16 games of the 2020-21 season, his players having adjourned to the beach long before the first daffodils of the year could be bought in bunches from the Sainsbury’s adjacent to Selhurst Park.
