Roy Littlejohn (born 1933) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic.[1] He was an England amateur international and won the 1958 Amateur Cup with Woking.

Littlejohn, who played as an outside-right, began his football career as a junior with Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, and made his first-team debut during the 1952–53 season.[1] He was on Portsmouth's books for a time while doing his National Service with the Royal Engineers,[2] and by 1957 was a Woking player,[3] and, as a PT instructor, was involved in training the team.[4] He was part of the Woking team that won the FA Amateur Cup in 1958, involved in the first two goals as Woking defeated Ilford 3–0 at Wembley.[5][6]

Littlejohn retained amateur status throughout his career, and was capped a number of times for the England amateur team.[7][8] He played for the Great Britain Olympic team eliminated in the qualifying round for the 1956 Games,[9] but was not selected for the team which eventually competed by special invitation.[10][11] He also was part of a British "FA XI" that toured Nigeria and Ghana in 1958.[12]

He pursued a career in architecture later on in life.[13]
