Roy Franklin Scholl (September 15, 1904 October 8, 1993)[1] was a professional football player who spent one season in the National Football League (NFL) with the Boston Bulldogs in 1929.[2] Scholl later dismissed ever having played professionally with any team. However football historian David Neft, pointed out in 1992 that six different newspapers identify Scholl as playing one game, as a sub, for Boston in 1929. Roger Treat’s Encyclopedia of Football also has him listed as having played guard with the 1929 Bulldogs.[3]

Scholl was employed by the Bethlehem Steel Company from approximately 1921 to 1951. He died in 1993 at age 89 at the Leigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania.[4]
