About the Book

Outside the county of Norfolk in England few have heard of Roy Waller. In Norfolk he is a legend. He presents two of BBC Radio Norfolk's top shows, one of them on his third love, country and western music. Each weekend he provides live commentary on Premiership football club, Norwich City, and makes it clear that his loyalties lie with the 'yallow and greens'. And he performs on stage at theatres and other venues across the county. Yet Roy is a very private manner, and not much was known about him until Grice Chapman Publishing persuaded him to write his biography. His story reveals a tough wartime childhood in one of Norwich's poorest areas; a long fight against what was then a deadly disease, diphtheria; and failure in the classroom. When he left school Roy wanted to be a journalist, but it took him a quarter century to achieve his aim. This is a story of a man who refused to give up. It is full of anecdotes, from the day the US secret service jumped on him for shaking hands with President Geoprge Bush; his dealings and frienships with world famous country music stars, and, of course, behind the scenes at Carrow Road, home of Norwich City. The book is heavily illustrated with photographs and cartoons. NB the publishers are donating GBP1 of every copy sold to the Bryan Gunn Leukaemia Appeal and the East Anglian Air Ambulance
