It's funny though that most clubs have key goalscorer remembered in history such as Steve Bull at Wolves but I struggle to thing of one outstanding striker like that. There have been good strikers like Quinn, Kitson, Senior.........but nobody head and shoulders above the rest.

So what you're saying is you can only think of one good striker for Wolves, but more than 3 for Reading?

Another stoopid post from Ian Royal. Wolves have had plenty of great strikers Goodman, Ebanks - Blake, nathan Blake etc....just that Bull stands out from the crowd.

But he isnt even the clubs top scorer, how can he be the clubs outstanding goalscorer like Bull :?

Didnt Senior score more goals for Reading than Dixon did for Chelsea?

Peter Mate, one goal one game. But to compare his one yard suspected handball to David Lee's screamers just isn't right.

Kitson taken a bit of a nosedive from last time iirc

That's bloody impressive from Senior. Pleased to see Morley so high, really liked him as a striker for us.

Any chance of doing a post war version? Only if it's easy like. Or is that what the yellow is?

Seems odd seeing James Henry on the list. I'm still thinking of him as a youngster trying to break in to the team.

Goaters goals to starts ratio is actually pretty impressive. I remember him being awful....

He was actually very good in one season and then fairly poor with limited opportunities in the next. At that point his legs had definitely gone though.

Of course the boo boys decided he was shit and got on his back no matter what he did.

Harry Carry Nope it was David Lee. 5 goals in 5 games from centre back. Nobody can match that record I'm afraid.


But Harry, whatever happened to him? Strange but leaving Reading to play elsewhere becomes a bit of a curse with the obvious exceptions of Kerry Dixon and Neil Webb. Hopefully, Kevin Doyle will make it an impressive threesome oo-er.

Well, he has still only played 12 games, barely a quarter of a season.

Lets hope he gets plenty more games this season but manages to stay on the list in roughly the same place.
