Roy Henry Evans (10 November 1910 – 17 July 1987)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the late 1930s. Evans was a member of Victorian Football Association (VFA) club Yarraville's inaugural premiership side in 1935 before he was recruited by Footscray the following season. He played as both a wingman and centreman during his 49-game stint with Footscray, captaining them to their first ever finals campaign in 1938.
