The best youth product the club has produced?

[No Fixed Abode]

Who?

[Barry the bird boggler]

At the moment its Neil Webb

[floyd__streete]

Brendan Rodgers. He served with distinction as both player and manager.

[Kitson12]

Of my generation it has to be Gylfi.

[rfcjoe]

Me

[It Is What It Is]

your mum.

[rfcjoe]

this guy takes comedy to a whole new level

[Forbury Lion]

Best youth player to break into the first team and play for Reading - Probably one from Adie Williams, Gylfi Siguardsson, Neil Webb.

There have been some good discoveries, non youth.... Kevin Doyle, Shakka Hislop.

[Jerry St Clair]

At the moment its Neil Webb

"Best" is very subjective. Webb would certainly qualify as most successful.

[Arch]

Frank Lampard

[toppy]

And the ones we've missed that were local?

Deon Burton
Theo Walcott

[West_Reading]

Scott Taylor was quality in our playoff season. Never really went on as he should have although he spent a few seasons with Leicester City.

[Urinal Mint]

neil webb, but sigurdsson could and i think will be more successful

[Big Foot]

Ahmet Rifat, Peter Castle and Darren Campbell share this accolade 3 ways IMO

Deon Burton
Theo Walcott

Don't think we "missed" Walcott just at the time he chose to go to Southampton as the big Premiership team in the area at the time. And we have his cousin(?) in our Academy at the moment.

Went to my school and can confirm we missed him, failed a trial at Reading first.

Probably what spurred him on to bigger things...

I heard that Sylvan Anderton was a bit special.

If he didn;t perform then not sure why we would have signed him !

[Hoop Blah]

Who said he didn't perform?

Any list of other local lads we didn't get to Reading for one reason or another would have to include Hayden Mullins who I thinks been a very decent player.

Webb is pretty easily the one who went on to have the best career. Sanchez would be up there too and Williams pushing them for a mention. It's Webb for me though.
