Roy Chapman was a regular goalscorer with all his clubs - he netted over 200 Football League goals in all - with his best haul at Sincil Bank coming towards the end of his playing career when he scored 20 in the 1966/67 season.

Of his 175 League outings for City, just one came as a substitute, but that created Club history as, when he replaced Bunny Larkin at half-time during the visit of Darlington in August 1965, he became the first City substitute in the Football League.

His first spell at Sincil Bank saw him bag an impressive 45 goals from 105 League games whilst in his second spell, which came after he spent three season with Mansfield Town (136 apps, 78 goals) saw him hold the title 'player-coach'.

He was in charge of team selection and the playing side of the Club from March 1965 to October 1966 following the departure of Con Moulson but City won just 16 times from his 68 matches in charge.

Chapman was replaced by Ron Gray soon after the start of the 1966/67 season but continued as a player until the following summer.

He later returned to management with Stafford Rangers where he achieved some success, winning the FA Trophy on two occasions and the 1971/72 Northern Premier League title.

A brief spell in charge of Stockport County, however, ended with the club having to seek re-election although he will be best remembered by Hatters' fans for bringing George Best to Edgeley Park in November 1975.

The father of Lee Chapman, who went on to play top flight football for the likes of Arsenal and Leeds United as well as pick up an England U21 cap, Roy later had a second spell in charge of Stafford. He died in 1983 aged 48.
