Max Jennings played for many seasons in the reserves and was once picked for first team action, but was denied a spot because he had to work in the family business (jennings butchers of caversham) on that Saturday so never featured in a first team game, but still plays regularly at the sprightly age of 51 and was a local football legend in the 80's and 90's playing mainly for Theale and West Reading.
Mark Matthews featured in over 12 games for Reading mainly under Maurice Evans and actually scored on his debut against Bradford at Elm Park, but didn't feature under BraininFoot at all. He went onto play fro a string of local semi-pro teams. He now runs his own successful building company Matthews Brickwork.
Both were strikers and the players still live in Tilehurst and regulalry attend games and attend the Royals reunions, and obviously still play.
Hope this helps
