JCAshfordroyal Ollie Kearns, without doubt.
Couldn't disagree more. I know he made an arse of himself sometimes but he scored some good goals too. 40 goals in 86 league games says he was no way the worst ever Reading player.

From Despair To Where?
As a callow youth in the mid 80's, without really seeing him play, I thought his goals per game ratio marked him out as a pretty decent player, but the general consensus of type of twat who comes on here and says Church is useless was always that he was utter shite.

Ark Royal I always thought Ollie was a bit like Trevor Senior: Bambi on ice outside the box, but deadly in it. Certainly his goal-scoring to games ratio suggested he would have scored a lot more had he stayed at Reading.

Isaac Hunt Been watching RFC since 1979...... has to be Mark Reilly for me.
Looked / played as if he'd never seen a football pitch in his life. I've never seen anyone so bad.

Ian RoyalTerminal Boardom Let's get things in perspective. Sheppard had at least 1 brilliant game and that was at Leicester. Mass Saar flattered to deceive after a wonderful first game at the Mad Stad. I don't remember Malcolm Swain but I have never heard a good word about him. Hughie Cheetham struggled with injuries during his time with us. My pet hate figure was Michael Meaker. A replacement for Simon Osborn? Don't make me laugh. Truly appalling. I also throw in Paul Bodin. Probably the worst left back I have ever seen.
As for putting Liam Rosenior in the list, he was in a very difficult situation as he was brought in to replace the fans favourite that was Murty. I don't think the fans ever gave him a chance.
Paul Brayson? Very, very poor! Paul Brooker was also a very poor player for us. Never reproduced the form or ability that he showed for other clubs.
Probably the biggest wasted talent that we have had was James Lambert. A very skillful and talented player but he had so much missing between his ears. He could so easily have become a legend but his whole attitude and approach was completely wrong.
Meaker is much maligned on here and should be forgiven all wrongs and shortcomings for two very simple reasons.
1) Watching him run down the South Bank with his cheeks huffing and puffing like an asthmatic hamster was hilarious.
2) It was his cross Adie turned in for an own goal whilst playing for Wolves (who then responded with a cheeky wink and 1-0 hand signal when the South Bank started to politley ask him what the score was).

Michael Meaker is a giant amongst men.
Bodin was shit but had a great first ten or so games for us, so at least you could tell he was supposed to be a footballer.
Mark Reilly looked like he'd been roped into games after being picked off the street.
Paul Holsgrove played like the giant goth kid at school who only reluctantly looked at a ball during PE lessons, lumping it around in a totally directionless manner, walking at a snail's pace. I was always totally dumbfounded when his name was on the teamsheet, and even more dumbfounded when the other team didn't simply run through him at every opportunity.

The Goat was fed Marek Matejovsky is one of my most hated players - but to say he is the worst is a bit harsh. Can't really add on what's been said so far.
