Beyond the Barside Meets… Roy McDonough
In our monthly bonus feature Beyond the Barside Meets…, we sit down with the characters who’ve shaped Colchester United’s past and present.
This month, Aaron chats with true U’s legend Roy McDonough – the larger-than-life striker and manager who embodied passion, chaos, and unforgettable moments at Layer Road. From leading Col U to the Conference and FA Trophy double in 1992, to his infamous record as English football’s most red-carded player, Roy’s stories are as explosive as his playing style.
We dive into his career highs, managerial memories, and plenty of off-the-pitch tales you won’t want to miss.
