Roger Ashby (born September 12, 1947 in England) has an impressive record as both player and manager. He made over 600 appearances for Kettering Town before starting a successful managerial career at Irthlingborough Diamonds, Rushden Town, Rushden & Diamonds, Bedford Town, Grantham Town and Nuneaton Borough.
After being appointed manager of Nuneaton Borough in February 2004 (following the departure of Alan Lewer) Roger Ashby led the club to fourth, third and second place finishes respectively in the Conference North league table. In 2006 he achieved a 3rd round replay against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup. On Monday December 18, 2006 Ashby quit as Nuneaton Borough manager after a poor run of form. He is now hoping for more success in charge of Brackley Town who were newly promoted to the Southern League Premier Division this year.
