Roy Joined Fulham in 1950 as an apprentice, signing on the same day as Bobby Robson.

Although a winger, he was renowned for his shooting ability.
Dwight scored 54 goals in 72 games for Fulham between 1954 and 1958, including a hat-trick against Liverpool in 1956 and finishing the season as Fulham's top scorer in both the 1956-57 and 1957-58 seasons.
He married Constance Carver in Dartford in 1954, and was the cousin of singer Sir Elton John (real name Reg Dwight); Roy's father Edwin and Sir Elton's father Stanley were brothers.
In 1957, he was in the London XI that beat Lausanne Sport 2–0 in the semi-final second leg of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup at Highbury.
He moved on to Nottingham Forest in the summer of 1958 for a 'substantial' fee, reported as £10,000.
In 1958–59, his only full season at Nottingham Forest, Dwight scored 26 goals in 41 League and 9 FA Cup appearances, including two hat-tricks.
He scored the opening goal in the 1959 FA Cup Final for Nottingham Forest.
He opened the scoring after 10 minutes for Forest in the 1959 FA Cup Final against Luton Town.
After 33 minutes, with Forest winning 2–0, Dwight was carried off the Wembley pitch after breaking his leg in a tackle with Luton's Brendan McNally.
Ten-man Forest held on, winning the match 2–1 to become the only team reduced in numbers by injury to win the trophy.
Despite scoring in his comeback game the following March, he was not the player he had been before his injury.
He played only twice more for Forest before dropping out of League football.
He moved back to play in his native Kent with Gravesend and Northfleet but returned to league football with spells at Coventry City, where he was recruited by former Fulham teammate Jimmy Hill, and lastly Millwall.

He later managed Tooting and Mitcham from 1971-1976, who had been Forest's 3rd round opponents in their winning FA Cup run in 1959, and also managed Dartford.
