Tony Le Mesmer Lee Nogan's late winner v Bolton in 95. Southbank Carnage.

My favourite moment of my favourite match.

I thought the top of my head was going to come off. The only other time I've felt like that without narcotics was when the Spice Girls did "Who Do You Think You Are" at the 1997 Brit Awards.

Archie's penalty I so so so so wish that someone would put 'year of the royals' onto Youtube. We played some wonderful stuff that season...



My tape was almost knackered so put it onto DVD. Quality not great, but certainly watchable. For a couple of pints I'm sure a copy could be found somewhere in my collection ..... :wink:


I'm sure the HNA masses could manage to transfer a few pints in your general direction. Would love to see the Bolton home game goals that's for sure...


Have no idea how YouTube works, but have created an account and am uploading the Bolton game now. Er, I think I have infringed the copyright rules, but as the video is no longer available to purchase, nor is any profit being made by me uploading it, I'm assuming Mr Mad won't be sending the boys round!

Category = Sport, Tag = Reading FC, Title = Reading FC v Bolton Wanderers 21/04/95. Er, is that sufficient for for finding it? (Poxy internet technologiy - whatever was wrong with bloody carrier pidgeons! :oops: )

It's up now. Came across this again ..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG4M8jaNDkc From about 1:30 to 2:15 is the funniest thing I've seen for bloody years!!!

Archie's penalty It says this video has not yet been processed but I'm assuming it will have to wait a while for that.

Working now. Well the DVD is 1.19Gb and the upload limit is 1Gb. Plus it would take forever to upload.

Once I've got the hang of this I'll try to set up my own page and gradually add the more p[opular games from years gone by.

Might I respectfully request that you upload the following from that vid as highlights from that wonderful season?

Wolves (H) 4-2
Swindon (H) 3-0
Bristol C (A) 2-1
Charlton (H) 2-1

I am sure you have nothing better to do :P . Think of it as public service, helping the youngsters grasp our pre-MadStad history. Not to mention the fact that it will please me no end if I could see said games again, the warm glow in you knowing that would surely be reward enough 8)

I second this and what about Charlton away with that humdinger by Osborn? Or Oldham away when he chipped the keeper. He scored some amazing goals!

I also have the full match video of the 2 FA Cup ties in 92/93 at EP.

As for uploading from a video i have no idea.

Maguire Getting rid of Harper.



Was this really necessary as an 'ecstatic moment''?

I so so so so wish that someone would put 'year of the royals' onto Youtube. We played some wonderful stuff that season...

As for my best moments.

Weird ones stick in my head:

Martin Williams equalising at Gillingham with a last minute penalty in 2001. We left the ground feeling esctatic.
Sheffield Weds away last year - finally turning a match around where we were losing. Doyle scoring and everyone going ballistic.

Slaughtering Cardiff 5-1 in the promotion season - we hammered them.

The 1-1 draw which practically confirmed promotion at Stockport in 1994. I couldn't see a thing but what a result!


I'd forgotten that. In the middle of a desperate run, looked like we'd lost to an injury time winner and we got an even later penalty. I did indeed go f*****g mental.

Tranmere away, was in the posh seats and was fairly trollied :oops: got offered out by the entire row in front

Beating Wolves 3-0, I think, at Elm Park meaning we stayed up. Walking through Prospect Park after the game was pretty special.

Was that the one when Jimmy Quinn played keepy-uppy on the edge of the box for what seemed an eternity before spanking it past Mike Stowell?

Blimey, I'm on a quick learning curve ... ok. I'll see what I can do.

Ecstatic every time we score. Highlights Plymouth 4-3, Curo's goal at Brentford, Tranmere away leg of play off 94/5, Archie's second against Wolves, Wigan play off at the mad stad, and hundreds more.

The 2005-06-07-08 vintage aside, my special moment has to be the anhialation of Tranmere in the play-offs at Prenton Park. I don't think I have ever seen such a dominant performance.

Getting on the pitch and saluting the Tilehurst End after Quinny spanked in the last minute winner against Argyle in 93/94 was a bit special especially as I dropped my fags on the pitch. No harm done as one of the stewards retrieved them for me!

But, for sheer drama and the hint of the unexpected, the last gasp equaliser at the Bridge to make it 2-2 was pure drama. I went absolutely mental!

Virtually every minute of the 106 season, bar the first 90.

The second half demolition of Derby the clinched the title with about 6 months still to go.

Final whistle at Brentford, watching it at the Mad Stad. Great celebrations in hotel afterwards.

2nd goal that sealed win over pompey on easter monday 1979 and put us within touching distance of promotion.

Tranmere away, as previous poster mentions.

Seeing the steel structure of the Mad stad actually taking shape (okay, not exactly one ecstatic moment, i'll grant you). Never really believed it would happen. Without out it we'd be league 2 fodder by now, or worse.
