Reading 4 Plymouth 3

Reading 4 Luton 1
How can anyone omit this one!

Tranmere 1 Reading 3
14/5/1995

Reading 2 Wigan 1
16/5/2001 L2 P/O Semi. Never felt or heard the MadStad shake like that ever!

Reading 3 Middlesbrough 2
First Prem game

Reading 6 West Ham 0

Probably more but off the top of my head


I agree with all of the above:

I’d add, Reading 4 Grimsby 0, take a bow John Alexander and
Southampton 1 Reading 3, a brace from Alfie.


Derby 1-1 Reading Gilkes screamer Nov 1985. Foggy sell out at the Baseball Ground went mental when Gilksey equalised

Snowflake Royal Speaking of Millwall games, that 5-0 with the Convey break from their corner was pretty good.


One of my top three goals of all time, from one of my top three players of all time.

Spanking Liverpool and Spurs will always be a favourite but I think it was the title/promotion decider at Southampton with ALFs brace towards the end in 2012. Fantastic night and drive home.

My mum took us on holiday and that was the one home game I missed all season. Was going with my Dad and his mate at the time and I got stick the entire season for missing that one.

Still surreal how we went on to lose only 1 more game after being beaten on the opening day.

Think I made about 10-15 having moved away, and still managed to see both our league defeats.

I missed a few games at the start of 05/06 as we were on holiday, but then saw nearly every game the rest of the season. I only really missed midweek games up north. What a time, I was so lucky.
