Bandini
roadrunner I used to deliver the Reading Evening Post to Darius Wdowczyk when he lived in Westwood Glen.

I went to school with Neil Webb. He also lived in the house backing on to mine.



Far be it for me to doubt your career as a veteran paperboy, but if Neil Webb left school aged 16 in 1979, and you were 11 then, so that would make you about 26-30 When Dariusz was playing for us.


that's actually borderline HOF

LOL - he used to have to drive the team minibus to away games and he once had to beg the chairman for £2.50 each for some fish and chips on the way home.

Right. I used to have a summer job in Henley's Ladbrokes in 1979-1983 summer holidays. I used to have my breakfast served by Gordon Cumming in the tea bar at Henley station (having cycled there from Tilehurst to save money).

I also used to drink with John Minty Murray at the Roebuck, circa 1983.

I also used to stand near Lawrie Sanchez on the Southbank when he was dropped/injured. He'd say HI.

ps I was actually a Tilehurst ender, unless it was raining.

When I was growing up I lived next door to Steve Francis and Neil Smilie. (They didn't live together, they were neighbours on either side).

Have beaten Stuart Beavon (senior) at darts a couple of times.

Used to have a kick about with Lea Barkus when he lived next door to the in laws.

Accidently punched Michael Barnes in the head when I came out to punch the ball when playing in goal for Woodley Wanderers against Mapledurham late 70s.

Got a kiss off Cheri Lunghi when the Manageress was filmed at Elm Park. I won second prize in the draw at the end of shooting.

1. Made an appearance on Soccer AM's 'Fans of the Week', a few years ago.
2. Captured on Sky TV being thrown into a hedge coming out of Brentford's ground after that famous draw.
3. Captured again on TV running on to the pitch after Jimmy Quinn's goal against Brighton at Elm Park.

I saw you crying at another Reading game at the Mad Stad as well. You were a bit younger then though.

I was interviewed on BBCRB twice. Once for being a Reading fan in Los Angeles on Sportsnight and the other time after Jacko bit the dust and they wanted a local take. I threw in some secret nobber shout-outs for the last interview and I have not been called back since! :oops:
