Of all the Wimbledon players to whom the epithet "legend" has been used over the years, Roy Law is near, if not top, of the pile.

Captain of the Croydon Schools XI and part of the South London Schools representative team, Roy joined Crystal Palace as an amateur after leaving school and was a regular in their reserves before a broken leg forced him to miss a year. He spent it wisely, training as a plumber.

After completing his National Service he joined Wimbledon at the start of the 1957/58 season and was soon in the first team. He became captain at the start of the 1960s and led the club to three consecutive Isthmian League titles and the Amateur Cup, captained the England amateur side and played for Great Britain in the 1964 Olympics qualifying competition.

When the Club turned professional in 1964 Roy, as captain, was instrumental in keeping the players and club together. By now a trained bricklayer, Roy continued to work despite signing a pro contract. He continued as captain until leaving the Club in 1972 after making over 600 appearances.
