Re: When was your first Reading game?

1963, which is why I have 63 on the back of my shirt.

Royal and Ancient will beat this quite easily, I think.

Re: Arthur Wilkie - goalkeeping record holder

Arthur Wilkie was the first Reading 'keeper I ever saw. Am I right in thinking that Roy Brown took over after he'd moved on? No, it was Mike Dixon. I remember we were horrified at the time as MD had always been a bit crap in games where he stood in for AW, but I thought he quickly developed into a ...

Like they're scared to say they thought the tackling was ...

Re: URZ NO 13 Flag....
