He is known to have played 378 senior matches (including 13 interstate matches for Victoria and 5 for Tasmania). Throughout his career he stood at just 180 centimetres (5 feet 11 inches) and was incredibly fit. He retired from competitive football in 1941 at the age of 48. Later, he coached (non-playing) New Town to a number of Tasmanian Football League premierships. After his retirement from football, he was involved in many business ventures before his death in Hobart on October 10, 1963. His son, Roy junior, played for New Town after World War Two.
The famous line of "Up there, Cazaly" was used a battle cry by Australian forces during World War II. It is also the name of a song, released in 1979 by Mike Brady and Two-Man Band.
Cazaly was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
