Could have been a star, but in the wrong place at the wrong time.


He stole my Banjo and was last seen chasing a herd of cows!

roberto_11 Most gutted would have to be Shaka, Osborn and Taylor all going in the same summer right after we came so so close to the Prem. Since then there have been a few (Lovell, Curo, Caskey, Adie...twice) but the most recent would be Butler, as in effect we had replaced him with Shaun Goater, who I never wanted us to sign in the 1st place.

Most pleased when he left would be Hughsey. He was versatile, worked hard and had one good season for us, but on the whole was absolutely shite, and in his last season crossed it into the stand more times than i dare to remember without getting angry again. I was surprised and ecstatic we got £500,000 for him.


Thanks for dragging this subject up again bakerlou with so many of the posters no longer active-Spacey found time to criticise other people's spellings reminding me of how much (not) he is missed.

My feelings were much in line with those of roberto regarding the good and the bad and I think Osborn going to QPR was the one that disappointed me most both then and since.

Losing Steve Wood and Kevin Bremner was the worst esp. as they were replaced by the likes of Paul Franklin and Francis Joseph. A clear sign to every supporter that the club was potless and/or still had plenty of Walleresque ambition.

Had forgotten about Steve Wood.
But for injuries he could well have succeeded at the top level IMHO.

In the cases of Osborn and Wood their injury periods came AFTER leaving Reading whereas nowadays..........................................................

To or from Rotherham? I can't remember :oops:


Doncaster. Dick Habbin went to Rotherham.

Was totally gutted when Simon Osborn left. Going back a bit further, Tommy Jenkins.
