Handsome Man 'I'm not the kind of striker who scores goals'

Jim McIntyre is our worst ever striker by miles. Ended up shoved on the wing, and not exactly busting a gut for us in the play-off final.


You're having a laugh aren't you?!

Started off with an awful lot of the boo boys selecting him as their new target but managed to win most of them over through his efforts, general contribution to the team and, believe it or not, goals.

Clearly you were one of the few hardliners who refused to see any good in him!

Scrappy Rougier was pretty bad to be concidered a striker. IIRC he only got the 1!


Clearly you can only remember the vital one he scored for us away at Tranmere. Was the home game v Oxford too wet for your liking?

In case anyone is wavering about voting for Brayson, please remember that Ian Richardson scored more goals for us (2) in five games whilst playing for Notts County than Brayson did in 48 games whilst playing for Reading.

Adie Williams scored as many goals for us whilst play at WoLOLves.

Please remember that the Swindon Town reserve goalkeeper scored more goals for Carlisle Uinted than Brayson did for us.

Whoever voted for the Goat is harsh - he was clearly a better goalscorer than any other striker in that squad. And Scott may not have been the most skilled, but he at least put in the effort.

It has to be Brayson all the way.

True but the fact he scored more for us than Brayson AND scored that goal against Bradford means he doesn't win this competition.

When compared to a striker who managed to go an ENTIRE SEASON without scoring despite playing most games that is absolutley laughable.

There is only 1 answer to this poll and it is Brayson. Anyone who voted differently is deluded, mad or on a wind-up.

Paul Brayson comes under deluded. He thought he was a striker.

Does anyone else remember just sitting watching and waiting for him to miss as he would burst clear of a defence and go one on one with a keeper? I seem to remember after a while noone expected him to score no matter what position he got into. We all jsut knew what was happening so didn't waste the energy getting excited.

Funny you should say that, every time he did that I was thinking "Come on, score, you son of a bitch!"

ChunkyMonkey Colin Gordon
Had the unenviable job of trying to take over from that man Trevor (god) Senior when he left the first time.
He was what the word 'Donkey' was originally invented for


Colin Gordon was so awful that once when he fouled the opposition player, all the Reading fans chanted OFF! OFF! OFF! to the referee :D :D :D
But at the time the whole team was shite bar a couple. What a forgetable line up; Conroy, Vaughan, Gordon, whitlock just to mention a few. Poor old stuart Beavon had to run his ass of to cover for that lot. Can any one else remember and name some of those Branfoot cheapies?

Has to be said there are some sound nominations:

P Brayson - just rank poor. And a midget. And fat.

C Gordon - flouncey mophead of a wuss but redeemed himself at Chelsea in the League Cup.

U Hartenburger - "international" signing, much expected but a prototype Donkey in the Henderson mould. Redeemed himself at Swansea.

B Savage - has a huge man ever had such an inappropriate name? Pussy.

S Moran - "star" quality but never shone.

One name not mentioned so far. Girls and boys, I give you the inimitable..... OLLIE KEARNS!

FYI, I would class McIntyre and Earles as wingers - or inside forwards...

Mcintyre was actually quite decent in the last season or so we had him, been far worse than him around.

Although if you use an obscure stat such as 'goals per game' to judge a striker Ollie Kearns ranks amongst our best....
