My Take
Bryan Roy is the kind of winger I find genuinely thrilling to watch. Schooled in the Ajax academy, he carried that Dutch attacking instinct into Nottingham Forest, where his debut season helped them finish third and reach the UEFA Cup. He was never the biggest man on the pitch, but pace and directness made him a problem defenders dreaded. His stints in Italy with Foggia and across other leagues mark him as a restless, artistic player. I like that he eventually returned to coach at Ajax, giving something back to the club that made him. That loyalty makes me root for him all over again.
