I'm assuming favourite rather than best.

Kitson
Little
Kebe
McAnuff
Shaka
Parkinson
Harper
Wdowczyk
Meaker
ALF

Of the ones I've seen play. I'd probably ditch the last two for Senior and Death, but never got to see either of them.

Lay off Sekou, he is a Reading legend. Got that assist for the late Brynjar winner against Sheffield United, arguably the catalyst for our 106 season. Where might we be without Mr. Baradji?

from a different era, although I went the wembley 94, when i was 8, i didnt really start watching Reading until 1999, so guess I really saw a different calibre of player..my top 10..

1. Glyfi - by far
2. Glenn Little
3. Nicky Shorey - first time round
4. Matt Upson - although on loan, best centre half we have had at the club in this period
5. Kevin Doyle
6. Steve Sidwell
7. Shaka Hislop
8. Matt Robinson - one of the most underrated players at the club and one of the reasons we were not relegated into the old 3rd division
9. Jamie Cureton
10. Nicky Forster

1: Brynjar Gunnarsson
2 - 10: No one

Should of got Brynjar's wife to sign. She could control the ball better than half the players then. (And was more attractive than all of them too)

I don't have a very big pool to choose from being 18 but in order of favourites:

1. Jimmy Kebe
2. Glenn Little
3. Kevin Doyle
4. Bobby Convey
5. Zurab Khizanishvili
6. Nicky Forster
7. Shane Long
8. Andre Bikey
9. Brynjar Gunnarsson
10. Kaspars Gorkss (2011/2012)

Quite liked Matejovsky, Bertrand, Armstrong, De La Cruz, Duberry, USA and had a soft spot for Rasiak.

In order of 'best'

1. Glenn Little
2. Gylfi Sigurdsson
3. Jimmy Kebe
4. Shane Long
5 & 6. Sonko and Ingimarsson
7. Steve Sidwell
8. Bobby Convey

S. Hunt, Kitson, Roberts and Shorey just miss out.

If only there was some official title we could give Brynjar to recognise his presence as a deity.
