Radio Norfolk presentersYou are in: Norfolk > Local Radio > Radio Norfolk presenters > Roy Waller Roy WallerRoy was born in Norwich, something to do with the fact his mother wanted young children! As a child he fell into the River Wensum and contracted diphtheria, don't ask what happened to the fish! Roy is well known for his love of country music, but the first record he ever bought was by Elvis Presley. "He'd just signed it at my local fish and chip shop!" said Roy. ![]() Roy Waller Keeping it country, Roy's favourite song is Angels Flying Close To The Ground by Willie Nelson. He also owns a Willie Nelson tour jacket which holds pride of place in his wardrobe. Wheeled WallerAfter escaping from the corridors of education, Roy wanted to be a Coronation programme seller, but found there wasn't much demand - so his first job was at an estate agents. He rode around on his bike putting up For Sale signs, though the bike didn't last long after he bought his first set of (motorised) wheels – a Ford Popular. Nowadays he can be seen loitering at Norwich City Football Club's Colney training ground, dreaming of a call to play for the youth team. A City fan through and through, Roy confesses the worst present he's ever received was an Ipswich Town tie! Football runs in his veins and he enjoys watching any old match on TV, but people may be dismayed to hear that his favourite colour is blue! Quirk of the starsRoy claims that his worst habit is that he is constantly tidying up, a quirk he blames on his star sign Virgo. His favourite holiday destination isn't, contrary to belief, the Canary Islands. He much prefers the Caymans. He doesn't rate Carrow Road as his favourite place in Norfolk either. That honour goes to the north Norfolk coast. His leisure time is spent working to pay off his wife's credit card bills, but he doesn't enjoy going to the cinema as he claims to be afraid of the dark! Roy's favourite food is chicken and he says he would like to be stuck in a lift with Stewart White and his bank records or Caprice. Being stuck with Caprice's boyfriend however, would be his worst nightmare! We didn't like to ask why Roy feels the cartoon character he most associates with is last updated: 22/09/07 SEE ALSOYou are in: Norfolk > Local Radio > Radio Norfolk presenters > Roy Waller |
