One of the reasons I became a Reading fan. This video clip of Bobby giving away his shorts (and the fans reaction) and him running off in his pants sealed it for me.

Reading was my team!

106er and therefore an absolute legend. Some stunning goals for us. Will always have fond memories of him and wish him all the best in getting through ill-health.

My favorite player ...... THE Millwall goal, I can remember bouncing the moment he crossed the halfway line, willing him to score ... Will always be an RFC legend ... hope his condition improves....

I still have my '106' Convey shirt!! I shall be wearing it tomorrow in support of the great man! Amazing he had the career he did considering his health issues then. So sad to hear they still cause him trouble now. Great reading on here how fondly remembered he is! A class act on and off the field!

....and what a "marquee signing" he was.........quality


Still have a CD purchased for £1 outside of the Madstad back in the day, dedicated to him

The not too shabby " We've got Bobby Convey"

Anyone else got a copy?

Good luck BC...BIG part of our legendary years.

Sad to hear he's not in good health. I really liked Convey and met him once outside the hotel on a non-matchday. Very nice, pleasant man who didn't mind taking a bit of time out to talk to me.

Slightly off topic I know, but he must be very similar to Archie Lovell then. Met Archie outside Elm Park, after a game, when most of the crowd had disappeared, and we ended up talking about 'that penalty' in '95. Very humble guy.

Only thought about him a week or so ago when I backed a horse called Convey who won at Lingfield at 7/1.
One of my favourite players who got me out of my seat when he had the ball at his feet.
God bless B C .

What a class player.

A sweet left foot and that goal at Burnley in a three nil drubbing, topped off by a snowball fight at Hebden Bridge station.

All the best, Bobby.

Didn't he appear in the official team photo with his sleeves badly cut off, or did I dream that?

Get well soon Bobby.

Apart from being a 106er he's a legend for having the initials RFC!

This one, loved him as a member of that team. Damn they were good. Total polar of what our current system is, soak it up then bang!


That goal v Millwall is the first thing I think of whenever I think of him.

Real shame to hear about his health deteriorating and hope he recovers fully and is able to manage the condition long term.

STAR has passed on supporters' best wishes to Bobby Convey via one his '106' colleagues.

Bobby has acknowledged this and appreciates the thoughts of the Reading fans. Says he's feeling fine atm.
