David Neilson, the beloved actor who plays the iconic Roy Cropper on Coronation Street, is not just talented on screen but also an avid football fan. In a recent turn of events, the Leicester-born star was seen cheering on his hometown team as they faced off against Southampton. And let me tell you, it was a sight to behold.
The video of David joining in on the chants and celebrating every goal was shared on TikTok by Cool as Leicester, and fans couldn't contain their excitement. One fan even exclaimed, "This has made my day and night! That man is truly a blessing to life." Another added, "I never knew I needed this." And they're not wrong, seeing David in the stands was truly the best thing ever.
It was a lucky day for David to attend the match as his team Leicester ended up winning 3-2. The club itself was over the moon to have the legendary actor in attendance and even took to Twitter to dub themselves as "Roy Cropper's Blue Army."
Meanwhile, on Coronation Street, it hasn't been an easy year for Roy. In March, he was falsely accused of murder after being arrested for the death of Lauren Bolton. And to make matters worse, while he was out on bail, he was also accused of assault, which led to his imprisonment while awaiting trial.
To make matters even more complicated, Roy was held in the same prison as Griff Reynolds, who was seeking revenge for Lauren's murder. Luckily, the police intervened before things got out of hand and Roy was released when new evidence proved his innocence. As it turns out, Lauren was still alive and it was Joel Deering who had orchestrated the attack on her.
But now, with Joel's murder, there are plenty of suspects, and Roy is one of them. Could the kind and gentle Roy Cropper have resorted to such a violent act? Only time will tell.
