Vic_Flange Isn't there some silly bit of trivia that he never let a goal IN either during his goalkeeping actvities for us? One for Strap?


Yes - Reading's most successful keeper ever - 4 apps, 4 clean sheets, IIRC!!

He went in goal in his very last game for Reading against Wigan when we were 2-0 down and we ended up winning 3-2.

teignmouth hoops Real genuine guy, remember going to Cardiff circa 86 or 87 he scored a hattrick and they refused to give him the match ball because they were so hard up. His goals to games ratio was 1 to 2 . When we signed him he was either on trial or on loan at Pompey and they couldn't afford the £30k we eventually bought him for, what a bargain for a true Reading legend


I think that it was Aldershot that couldn't afford him - we bought him from Portsmouth

I seem to remember one of his two goals against the mighty Aldershot at home in some meaningless cup game quite special. :?: (was it 5-2) :?:

I think during the 83/84 season in Division 4 he got something like 22 goals in the first 15 games and was on track to beat Dixie Dean's all time record at one point.

Any excuse to dig out the picture of Trevor and my good self... 25 years ago. Mental.



To go with his excellent goal scoring and goal keeping records he also scored a couple of classic own goals from memory.
0-2 at home to Darlington (Senior, Hicks).
Happy days!
