AthleticoSpizz Men of a ‘certain age’ will never forget (Gilksies penalty) and our first ever trip to Wembley…..something that never ever could happen to ‘lil old Reading back then.
Times have changed, and ‘everybody’ plays at Wembley these days….but wow…what a (late) night that shoot-out that was.

Jackson Corner I remember around 89 we went into the last game of the season against Chesterfield it would have needed 3 results to go against us and us to lose. We were 2-0 down at half time. And the other scores were all against us, and we were going down. Then Gillkes turned on the after burners and we won 4-2 and avoided the drop to league 4. A year later SJM took over and the rest is history. Had we gone down then who knows?

Chesterfield also had to win, and hope other results went their way, to have any chance of staying up.
Apparently someone told them at half time that the other results were against them, and their heads dropped.

Brynjar's brace v Sheffield basically cemented our dominance over the division and set the stall for leading pretty much the entire way.

genome We should all hail the Reading legend with the excellent assist, Sekou Baradji.
