Tony Le MesmerArchie's penalty The kind of player that would get into a Reading Hall of Fame if there was one.
Agreed.
In 2002/03 he carried the whole team. and i mean carried. totally unplayable at times. How anyone who uses the word 'overated' about such a player is just impaired.

FORSTERS_RIGHT_FOOT Nicky Forster, My favourite Reading player ever.

Dirk Gently I remember the match at home vs Ipswich that same year - one of our few wins against them - when he got a hat trick.
The third goal was absolutely sublime - certainly one of the best goals I've ever seen. There was a quick break and he was just outside the corner of the Ipswich penalty area when he shot. I was right in line behind the ball when he shot, and I could see he'd hit if wide and it was missing the far post - but once it was past the keeper it swung in the air and curved in off the far post. An absolutely incredible bit of skill and if someone like Ronaldo had done it the pundits would be raving about it.

WEST STAND LOSER!
He was an awesome player and my favourite for many a year. Our play-off dream died the moment he went down njured at Molineux. My mates who nothing about lower league football who watched the game on TV all said "that little fella up front, best player on the pitch by a mile".
I never thought he'd still be doing the business at 36 as his pace was so beneficial and you tend to lose that when you get older. Super to see him still scoring.

Row Z RoyalThaumagurist* He could do better than Brighton, surely.
Maybe he likes it there.

He's emblazoned all over the Team's Ford Focus, is pretty much on the back of The Argus every week and, as pointed out previously, is pretty high on virtually every fan's favourite player list. He's got an awful lot more than many other 36 year olds.
PS. He was a quality player for us.

Is he still club captain?

floyd__streete For a club with our modest achievements a player like Nicky Forster must be considered an all time great. Look at some of the goals in that clip posted earlier; if they had been scored in the Premier League you'd be watching them on ESPN Classic every other day. In all honesty, very few RFC players over the years I have been watching have got me out of my seat through sheer excitement. Nicky Forster did.

Still only averaged about 6 goals a season for us in his time here. Ball greedy and very over rated as a 'striker'. (1999 - 2006, 186 apps, 59 goals) But what I'd give to have a player like him here now!

When fit and on form, he was as good as anyone I have ever seen for this club.

oh dear
One of my faves of all time, If he played the offside trap slightly better he probably would have doubled his goals

Ideal
to be fair, even Bas Savage would do better than some of the guys we currently have playing up front
