“I remember Roy as a very young boy, he played for Nottingham Forest,” the former Blackburn Premier League winner said.

“I was at Norwich at the time, and they were playing us in mid-week and they had an FA Cup semi-final (a few days later).

“And he came and two-footed me like you wouldn’t believe.

“And I was a lot older than Roy and I remember grabbing him by the throat on the floor – as if to say, ‘Look, do you want to play in that game at the weekend?

“Same again, water off a duck’s back, it was as if I was talking to a piece of stone.

“You knew then that he was the real deal. He had that mentality. He calls it ‘the eye of the tiger.’ That’s exactly what he had.”
