Roy's first season at the City Ground was a success, as he provided a strong partner for the lethal Stan Collymore. He helped the newly promoted side finish an impressive third in the Premiership and qualify for the UEFA Cup - the first time Forest had achieved European qualification in the post-Heysel era.

His first-team opportunities were limited by injury and disappointing form in 1996-97, and Roy decided that he'd seen enough of England.
