Looking at Hobnob's report archive it took me quite some time to figure out who the goalscorer for Reading was. Had completely forgotten about the Chelsea loanee who also played in these fixtures during the 'dark days' of League One....

03-01-2000 Football League One Gillingham 2-2 Reading 1
08-01-2000 Football League One Reading 1-1 Blackpool 0
15-01-2000 Football League One Reading 0-0 Cambridge 0
18-01-2000 Football League Trophy Barnet 1-2 Reading 0
22-01-2000 Football League One Luton 3-1 Reading 0
24-01-2000 Football League Trophy Bristol R 1-2 Reading 2
29-01-2000 Football League One Reading 2-0 Colchester 0

Are there any other 'forgotten men' from the (near) decade that we've resided at the Mad Stad? Erik Obinna would be a more recent favourite!

[66DD]

Omar Daley. Heard that he'd just been granted a work permit to play for Bradford City

[Huntley & Palmer]

Ben Roberts

[AndyRFC]

Kevin Lisbie

[Alan Partridge]

Clearly these people aren't forgotten if you remember them.

I was gonna post someone up from the Burns era but I've forgotten him.

[Vision]

Mark Reilly, the ultimate anonymous midfielder.

[Geekins]

Jamie Young (GK) - 1 sub appearance verses Stoke, one blinding save from his first touch from the inswinging corner

[SpaceCruiser]

Wasn't there a winger who came up from the youth ranks during the Tommy Burns era. Name might have been Alex Haddow?

Loanee from West Ham. Now playing at Tours in the French Ligue 2.

HTH ....

[aaronrfc]

didnt we have leo roget on loan (from stockport or someone like that) at the end of the year we got promoted to the old div 1. 01/02 i think. not sure he even made any appearances

[Zammo]

Keith Scott. How the Wycombe fans laughed when we signed him, yet his goal vs Bradford was a special Madejski moment. A proper piece of footy skill.

[SpaceCruiser]

Centre back and part-time goal keeper ?????? Brown. (Can't remember his first name).

Steve Brown?

[AndyRFC]

Tony Malessa, a goalkeeper signed as cover, don't think he ever played though

[Vision]

Any player under the age of 20.
