I can't read that well so I'm certainly not a reading legend.

Well im still at schoolso I dont go back very far, however I liked (and still do like) Jamie Cureton, fantastic attitude and he scored a lot aswell. Darren Caskey wasnt to bad either.

Jamie Cureton has to be an obvious one.

I like (and agree with) all of them apart from Caskey.

Forster would be the one I'd replace Casks with.

Wouldn't disagree with the Top 7 or 8. Curo probably gets in with that goal. Caskey and Osborn would battle it out for the most talented CM I've seen. Other players I've enjoyed are Quinn, Gooding, Taylor and Morley. And Meaker's one-trick-pony, laughably-rubbish displays. Kitson's two goal whitewash against West Ham remains my favourite individual display.

For me, Harper and Sidwell are not Reading legends.

Would Harps be a legend if he stayed for another three years and got us back up?
