Various TV appearances, Norwich away in March '03 the most notable.

Good close up of me during h-t at the Walsall play off final. Not so good, the publication by the EP of probably the worst photo I have ever seen of myself at Southampton away during the Championship season - it was pissing it down and I was sat in the second front row looking mightily annoyed with life.

we followed Johnny Mad in his roller on the way to Wolves as we didnt know where we were going - and both ended up lost in an industrial estate as neither did he...

I think I could see a bit of my arm in one of the photos of the Leicester promotion game

I once saw Sam Sodje in town. I didn't realise it was him until it was too late to say hi

I sat just 3 rows behind Kevin Doyle's girlfriend at Pompey

I won a phone in comp on 210 many years ago when the question was 'how many Royals players have first and surnames beginning with the same letter'. The answer was 6 although I claimed 7 using Darius Dovcek as my 7th. The others were Simon Shepherd, Phil Parkinson, Michael Meaker and 3 others that I know can't recall....

We followed the team bus out from Wolves after the play off game in 2003, thinking they knew a quick way out and on to the motorway.........we ended up in a hotel car park

Not sure if these are claim to fame's but anyhows, i have taken part in the half time penalty shootout out, for my team at the time Woodley Wanderers, on the Elm Park Turf infront of the Southbank. Also Gilksey winked at me while he was warming up.

I have played a cup final at the Mad Stad and we were classed as the home team, so got to use the home dressing room.

Also the night Reading won the Championship, we were dancing with Long and Doyle in Risa.

My brother played for Ascot United with Gary Peters.

I spotted Colin Meldrum at Royal Ascot but was too embarrassed to ask for his autograph. My mum said she would do it, so she approached him and said "Are you Colin Mildew?"

Good background photo of my dad and myself in the EP as Peter Silvester is being presented with his player of the year trophy 196?

A small selection.....

Three different Reading players tried the chat up lines on three different occassions while I was at school. All got short shrift. Had a smoochy dance with one by accident. Made him ask my BF if he could have a dance, thought it would put him off, but he did and the twit said yes. Does explain why it took us so long to do well - they must all have had poor eyesight.

Did work experience there. Designed the club mug once. Was on the front page of the proggy all season (picture was taken at Wimbledon). In the Heaven on Earth book very clearly and on Simod video (we were next to the steps when they came down with the trophy at the end of the royal box).

Have dressing room pictures taken on my camera from the promotion game against Derby. Was on the pitch with the players taking photos after the Newport game during the record breaking run.

Was in a Desmond Morris documentary about football supporters that filmed the Reading #1 coach during a trip to Oxford.

One of the girlie team that Reading put out to play against Walsall in a Rothman's Quiz after the away game.....we won!

Did he say 'love you Long time'?....

My old man was fourth official at elm park before the league changed the rules.

Am on official website photos at Leicester when Doyler scored THAT goal.
