Roy Alexander Cheetham (born 21 December 1939 in Eccles, Greater Manchester) is an English former footballer who played for Manchester City, Detroit Cougars, Charlton Athletic and Chester.

As a boy Cheetham watched Manchester City and Manchester United on alternate Saturdays.[1] His career began when he signed for Manchester City as an amateur in 1956. Later that year he turned professional. He made his debut in the 1957–58 season in a 2–1 win against Luton Town. In the following match he was given a torrid time by Arsenal's Jimmy Bloomfield, and returned to the reserves.[2] The following season he began to play more regularly, and he progressed to make 137 first team appearances over the course of a decade.

On 30 August 1965 he became the first Manchester City player to be used as a substitute, replacing Mike Summerbee in a match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[3]

He played for the Division One championship-winning side in 1967–68, although he had not played enough games to qualify for a medal. He moved to Detroit Cougars of the NASL in January 1968. During his season in Detroit he scored three penalties in a single match against Dallas.[4] In total, Cheetham made 17 apps in the NASL.[5] He then returned to England, signing for Charlton Athletic. He did make any first team appearances for Charlton, and transferred to Chester in December 1968, where he became club penalty taker.[6] He made 124 league appearances at Chester before leaving in 1972, with his final appearance being a goalless draw at home to Crewe Alexandra on 22 April 1972. This marked the end of his Football League career. A second spell in North America followed in the form of a period at Windsor Stars in Canada. He later managed non-league club Great Harwood Town.

In 1999 Cheetham made a trip to Budapest to meet childhood hero Ferenc Puskás, and in 2006 represented Manchester City at Puskás' funeral.[1] As of 2007, Cheetham is treasurer of Manchester City's Former Players' Association.[7]
