The dawn of the 80s was one that Melchester Rovers would’ve wanted to forget, with the threat of relegation and exits from the F.A and European Cup leaving the trophy cabinet bare.

For star striker Roy Race it couldn’t have been worse. His obsession with the team caused a strain on his marriage, fractured his relationship with team-mates, and culminated with the shocking (and iconic) attempt on his life…

After being shot in 1981, Roy lay in a coma for several weeks, and none other than Sir Alf Ramsey stepped into the dugout for Melchester. While life in a lower division beckoned, at least the Rovers looked stylish in those fancy new Gola kits!
