| HistoryText | - Roy Race was the star striker of Melchester Rovers F.C, whom he signed for while still in his teens. In 1975 he became player-manager of the team, which he led to victory on numerous occasions, marrying club secretary Penny Laine along the way and having three children, Roy Race Jr. , Melinda and Diana. Roy had a number of adventures during his surprisingly long career but what finally ended his time on the pitch was losing control of his helicopter and crashing it in 1993 . Roy survived but lost his left foot. Roy subsequently moved to Italy to manage a side there. He returned home following Penny's death in a car accident and attempted to reconcile with his son Rocky, who had also become a footballer. When last seen, Roy had finally become the owner of Melchester Rovers, the club he devoted most of his life to, and his son was their new star striker, the latest "Roy of the Rovers".

| Notes | - Roy's playing career lasted for almost forty years, which is clearly pretty much impossible, particularly as Roy never seemed to look older than his mid thirties. Later installments of Roy of the Rovers attempted to explain this with retroactive continuity, explaining that more than one Roy Race had played for Melchester.
