Best 1-11 you've seen for your team

I do find it strange that so many on the forum were born/ brought up in Liverpool, London, Manchester, Glasgow etc. I am assuming that everyone supports their local team, and not just one of the big boys.:whistle: Where are all the supporters from lower league teams ? Much more interesting to see their 1-11 rather than arguing over one or two players in one of the top teams.

Just as an example, older supporters of Carlisle could have a front two of Peter Beardsley and Stan Bowles. Lets here it from some true local fans.:p

Birmingham ?

Please Rich it is Birmingham City, name changed in 1948 if you remember.

I had thought of naming a worst 1 - 11 but that would be too easy; the current lot would all be in there.

My apologies, but I thought you would recognise without me adding City.:)

I hope your boys do us a favour and beat Wigan tonight.:thup:

I remember Trevor Francis playing when he was 16. What a player he was at that age, just a shame he had so many injuries when at his peak. Matthew Upson played for us on loan from Arsenal and was brilliant. Apart from Keith Curl the best centre back I have seen at Reading. Couldn't include him in my team though as he was only on loan.

Our worst team must have been early 80's. we even finished below Aldershot one season.:mad:

Well said. I apologise for my boys smash and grab raid that put you back in the mire. Are you old enough to remember the famous Donny 7 Biscuitmen 5 ? Kerry Dixon scored four for us and we still lost, and got relegated. Dixon got transferred to Chelsea, and we bought the goal machine Trevor Senior.

That dropped us right in it on Saturday, not much hope now as our last game is away at Leicester.

I was at the 7-5 game as a 12 year old with my Dad, hadn't been to many games then and thought they were all like that lol.

Top player, and top goal scorer in the league one season, late 70's. I watched Aldershot when they had there FA cup run to the 5th round. They lost to Shrewsbury in a reply who were in the 2nd tier then. they then bought Dungworth at the end of the season for £100,000 which was huge money then. He was rubbish for them !!!

My first Reading game was at home to Barrow 1969/70 season. We won 6-3 and like you I thought all games were like that. Actually that season a lot were. We beat Southport 8-0 to qualify for the Watney Cup, where we lost to Man Utd at Elm Park.

I am sure that with our home record you are not holding out much hope for a favour from our lot tonight.

The way the Club is at the moment I can see us finishing beneath Aldershot in the not too distant future and yes, I am aware of their current status.

Oh Dad! Why did you have to take me down there all those years ago!?
 
Tim Flowers

Keith Newton ,Henning Berg, Colin Hendry ,Graeme Le Saux

Ronnie Clayton, Tim Sherwood, David Batty,

Bryan Douglas Alan Shearer Chris Sutton.

Happy Days! Cannot think how long it will be before another "small town club" take The Premiership unless Liverpool pull it off this season!!!!

Can't believe you don't have Steve Melledew and Jack Howarth up front - I was a regular for a couple of seasons, saw them win promotion in 72-73 and stay up the next season

Here's the promotion celebration game against Airdrie (I was there) with Steve scoring and over celebrating for a friendly

See if you know the team that these all stars played for.

Fraser Digby
Paul Bodin
Sean Taylor
Colin Calderwood
David Kerslake
Glen Hoddle
Alan McLaughlin
Jonny Moncur
Mickey Hazzard
Lou Macari
Jan Age Fjoroft
