One-Hit Wonders

[Steve_Upper_West]

I guess it is fair to say that Yakubu's one and only goal for Reading in last year's FA cup gave him a place in Reading folklore, not least because of it's importance in an otherwise disappointing season. Anyone else have particular memories of Reading players whose ONLY goal for the club left a lasting impression. Two others spring to mind for me....

De la Cruz and 'that goal' in an eventful 3-1 win against Sheffield in 2007, a game which also saw Warnock and Downes squaring up!

Bertrand's goal in 2010 against Derby which finally beat Robbie Savage, who up until then had been performing heroics between the posts, a game we finally won 4-1

Chris Armstrong opening the scoring against Watford on what was the coldest evening planet Earth has ever given us.

Nice thread. I enjoyed Tony Barras equalising goal at Luton in 1998/99 Not truly special though. Perhaps Robert Fleck's only RFC goal, also vs Luton on that same season when we opened the new ground with an untypically attractive win

Sean Evers (indeed) opening the scoring away at Fulham.

I vaguely remember that game as I was kronenbourged to the eye balls. Think we lost it 4 - 1.

3-1. And wasn't it Brebner with our goal?

I stood next to a bloke on a packed Putney End who had snuck an entire pint in its glass from the local boozer and was supping happily away Not sure whether it was Krony or not, but it could have been you

Ha you what I just checked and it was Brebner.....Jesus Christ we were drunk. All these years I thought it was Evers.....

Robert Fleck - you know you're losing it when he gets presented with the player of the season award for the other team.

John Halls did score in the league - tap in in a late season game.

i was really hoping I could talk about Danny Bailey's beauty at Southend away in 1991but he scored 2 for Reading

[John Smith]

i as really hoping I could talk about Danny Bailey's beauty at Southend away in 1991but he scored 2 for Reading

If I create a new thread we can both discuss Bailey and John Halls if you like?
