I have a vast collection of old programmes and can help with the Southampton and West Ham games:-
31/7/99 Reading 0 Southampton 3 ( Le Tissier, Ostenstad (2)), Att 5,780. Referee Rob Harris avoided using his cards by ordering the substitution of Kachloul, Le Tissier and Reading's Keith Scott. Parky was stretcheed off after a 50/50 challenge with James Beattie.
Reading line-Up: Howie, Gurney, Casper, Hunter, Gray, Brebner, Parkinson, Caskey, Hodges, Williams, Scott; Subs Bernal, Kromheer, Brayson, McIntyre, McLaren, Crawford
Details taken from the extensive match report included in the home programme v Bristol City 7/8/99.
27/7/96 Reading 1 (Archie Lovell 39) West Ham 2 (Robbie Slater, Michael Hughes). Robbie Slater, born in Lancashire but raised in Australia, sprinted clear to put the Hammers in front after 14 minutes and some dazzling Paolo Futre footwork set up Michal Hughes to slam home a great shot from the edge of the box on 38 minutes. The Royals' response came barely a minute later when Martin Williams' persistance hustled the Hammers' defence into a blunder and he forced the ball across the six yard box for Archie Lovell to make it 2-1. Archie thought he'd levelled it 10 minutes after the break when he left Ludek Miklosko stranded with a delicate chip but saw the ball clip the crossbar.
Details taken from home programme v Sheffield United 17/8/96.
29/7/00 Reading - Southampton - Sorry can't help with this one.
