Nameless two rather more significant Royals in that Rovers sides in addition to the rather minor loanees !

A list of our 20 most significant loanees would be an interesting one....


Didn't really like to mention the obvious though.

David Lee scored 5 goals in 5 games from centre back whilst on loan at Reading.

Suspect most people know that !
A nice little cameo but hardly a season shaping contribution.

I doubt it!

I suspect not many have a goal every game ratio.

You are no doubt correct, but it was the very definition of a cameo ! An interesting historical freak ....

Best ever loanee thread would be an interesting one.

Matthew Upson has to be up there. We only conceded 6 goals in 14 league games during his 3 months with us,

as already mentioned elsewhere, we were runaway, top of the league at the time.

Freezing cold, damp, half frozen pasty at halftime and being in Fellows Park...kids these days, don't have a clue.

Schards#2 If you weren't at Chesterfield 7-1 Reading circa 1978, I don't want to hear about it


'Greed.

We took the lead too.

I was behind the goal talking to Steve Death. Prolly put him off.

No, No and No to the OP, and I wasn't alive in 1978.

But if the question is have I seen a few heavy Reading defeats in my time then the answer is yes, yes I have.

bit off topic, but I've been to:

the only game in the history of the football league where 4 players from one team were sent off. the '7' took the lead. :lol:
the lowest attendance for a Reading 1st team game (the 7th lowest attendance in football league history). Some 45,000 FL games later, there hasn't been a lower one.
Been 1 of 4 away fans
completed a 10 hour drive to a game & didn't get in.

My uncle has been to the following away games this season:

Newcastle (4-1), Brentford (4-1), Fulham (5-0), Sheff Wed (0-2), and Norwich (7-1)

So he's joined the 25 club this season alone

The 6-1 at Elm Park against Crystal Palace was by far the most painful of all them. We were complete and utter dogshite that game
