The club itself was also thrilled to have the iconic actor in attendance, taking to Twitter/X to call itself ‘Roy Cropper’s Blue Army’. Over on Coronation Street, it’s been a tough year for Roy.
In March, he was wrongly arrested for the murder of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), after deep cleaning the flat she had been staying in. After being released on bail, he was accused of assault, which landed him in prison while awaiting a trial. Unfortunately, he was held in the same prison as Griff Reynolds (Michael Condron), who was determined to get revenge for Lauren’s murder.
