sandman Left wing was between Jobi and Michael Gilkes but went with Jobi as he got promoted and was Captain as well.

Barney Jason Roberts (6 goals in total for RFC) beats Friday, Senior, Dixon etc to make the BEST EVER RFC XI ?????
I am assuming this is a massive woosh. Apologies for taking the bait.

Not a whoosh. Roberts was much, much more than just goals and took a decent squad by the scruff of the neck and dragged us into the PL.
That's the way I see it.
must admit, I didn't think of KD. Again, I still believe Roberts was the better player although Kerry's scoring record was sensational for a relegated side

Each to their own guvnor. Roberts actually only played the full 90 minutes 14 times for Reading.
Just a little surprised that Friday (enough said) or Senior (over 150 goals in over 300 games) or Dixon couldn't get in ahead of a player that only made 28 appearances for us. Hey ho.....like I say, each to their own.

One87One Forster's goals to game ratio wasn't actually that great. He was superb on his day, but I always found him frustratingly greedy. But his turn of pace was something else.sandman Left wing was between Jobi and Michael Gilkes but went with Jobi as he got promoted and was Captain as well.
Gilkes scored and won the Simod Cup, and narrowly missed out on auto promotion to the Premier League in 1995 when we finished 2nd. I'd argue Gilkes edges McAnuff.
Anyway, for me:
------------------------------- SHAKA ----------------------------------
BRIDGE --- UPSON ----------------- WDOWCZYK --- HARTE
TAYLOR ---- OSBORN ---------- SIGURDSSON ---- GILKES
---------------- CURETON --------- QUINN ------------------------

South Coast Royal An impossible task but here goes with something like a very attacking 3-5-2:
Shaka Hislop
Keith Curle
Adie Williams
Dariusz Wdowczyk
Mick Gooding
Phil Parkinson
Simon Osborn
Gylfi Sigurdsson
Michael Gilkes
Robin Friday
Kerry Dixon
Subs:-
Steve Death
Johnny Walker
Martin Hicks
Jimmy Quinn
Denis Allen
Trevor Senior
Kevin Bremner
I don't rate many of the regular full-backs over the years so have gone with the 2 wing-backs.
Notable absentees:-
Lawrie Sanchez
Neil Webb (didn't play for long enough)
Tommy Jenkins (didn't play for long enough)
Jimmy Kebe (too in and out for me)
Jimmy Wheeler
Richie Bowman
Colin Meldrum
George Harris

I like your starting line up particularly the three centre backs. Fully agree on your five in midfield especially Gilksey to give the side pace. Didn’t see Friday play so can’t comment but agree on Dixon.
The only surprise is that Chris Gunter is not in your side.

We were not asked for the best ever RFC XI, we were asked for the best XI seen in our lifetime...... So you may see a player who played 5 games and consider him to be a better player than someone who played 100 and won us promotions, however a player who plays 5 games for a club isn't going to feature in any Best ever XI (unless they were 5 cup finals).Barney Jason Roberts (6 goals in total for RFC) beats Friday, Senior, Dixon etc to make the BEST EVER RFC XI ?????

As I said, I haven't seen many orthodox full-backs over the years that have been much good, apart from Murty and Shorey.
At least I have put one token Welshman in the side.
