At one time, that wouldn’t have been that unusual…bus driver…window cleaner…fish and chip shop owner.

What a goal he scored on his league debut. I remember thinking, 'what a player we've signed here!'

It was deflected

It was deflected

True, but there were a lot more reasons for me being wrong about him

Yep, the winner I think? Two right backs scored for us (Duffy too?) after we'd gone 1-0 down in the first minute.

Edit: it was the equaliser and their goal was 15 seconds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znk_dWUpTDw

Was his last goal for us at Leeds

[Herts Clarets]

Was he one of the centre backs in the debacle at Ipswich? The 6-1 game.

He was, alongside the even more inept Graham Branch. Stan described it as kindergarten stuff.

Rather ironic really that he ended up on a building site.

I would take offence to that comment if I ran a kindergarten to be honest.....

He used to score goal(s)

I’m pretty sure both scoring right backs weren’t playing right back that day either. They were playing left and right midfield

Roche was very much a part of the post ITV Digital “cobbled together squad” era.

[bfccrazy]

Seems like he does comms work for United games too in some capacity - pops up on fb in the comms areas a bit.

They were. We had Michael Duff & Mo Camara at full back.

Is Lee Roche the guy who started up a vegan / eco business?

Or was that Eckersley?

[arise_sir_charge]

That was Eckersley.

Articles like this irritate me.

Working on a building site suggests he’s labouring for minimum wage.

As it transpires, he owns his own cavity wall insulation business.
