Roy Ramsay (born 3 January 1956) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne and Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Ramsay, a back pocket, was originally from Broadmeadows.[1] His first stint at North Melbourne was from 1976 to 1981, during which time he never managed to play more than nine games in a season.[2] He did play in four finals, including North Melbourne's 1979 preliminary final loss to Collingwood, but didn't feature in any of their three grand final appearances.[2]
In 1982, Ramsay played for Essendon, but was restricted mainly to the reserves, where he won a best and fairest award.[3]
Ramsay returned to North Melbourne in 1983 and became a regular fixture in the team, playing 23 games that year, 21 in 1984 and 19 in 1985.[2] He played seven games in the 1986 VFL season, then didn't make any appearances the following year, troubled by a shoulder injury.[2] [4] In 1988 he left the club for Port Melbourne.[3]
He is a cousin of Billy Swan, a former VFA footballer who is the father of Brownlow Medalist Dane Swan.[5]
