RoyalBlue Percy Freeman - I would love to know the speed at which he kicked the ball. He literally used to demolish walls when he took freekicks! I used to be disappointed when the ball found a way through without hitting anyone!
He was wasn't built like a brick sh*thouse, more like a nuclear bunker! Just used to plough his way through defenders, made the likes of Whitehurst and Morley look soft!

Can remember his Reading debut. He damaged the Crossbar with a shot, not sure if he scored that day. He hit the ball hard.

royal madrid Blimey. The first good post this year. Finally wittering about those blokes we grew up with when Reading were going nowhere at an excruciatingly slow pace.
On to the matter at hand – does anybody know what became of Richie Bowman and Pat Earles? For me Bowman was always the swashbuckling youngster with a soul-boy haircut and ill advised tache next to Pat Earles' rather staid father with a Douglas Herd style haircut.
And what happened to John Alexander? Although I guess my first game was around 1976 my first thrill of being at Elm Park was seeing him score a hat-trick (or was it four) and get sent off against Crewe Alexander.
As much as I'm enjoying this season memories like that will always hold something more pleasureable for me.

Yes I do, I also remember the Wagstaffe brothers. Anyway, the Luton game you mention should have been called off long before the McDonald goal because of the fog. You're right, it was along time ago but still fond memories...

Fog? It was a solid 2 hour downpour. My prog still looks damp! Hell of an atmosphere and and a bit nasty on the Tilehurst Rd afterwards.
