David Neilson Cheers Leicester City's Victory

David Neilson, the actor best known for portraying Roy Cropper in 'Coronation Street', was spotted enjoying a football match between Leicester City and Southampton, where he celebrated Leicester's comeback victory. At St Mary's Stadium, Neilson, 75, joined in an exuberant chant as Leicester overturned a two-goal deficit to win 3-2. The chant, which included explicit language, humorously mocked Southampton's earlier lead. Neilson, a dedicated Leicester City fan, has been a prominent supporter since his youth in Loughborough. His character Roy Cropper has been a beloved fixture on the ITV soap since 1995 and has evolved significantly, incorporating traits inspired by his wife's experiences as a special education teacher. Off-screen, Neilson maintains a balanced life, having been married for over 50 years and enjoying family time between England and Spain.
