Which Williams ???
Another wonderful article supplied by Tony Ella and taken from the Reading FC Paper Fanzine 'Taking The Biscuit'!
Wycombe away, the man in front of me yells "come on Adi" every time our right winger touches the ball. At first I thought it was an attempt at humour, but it soon became obvious that the guy was serious. He really thought Adrian Williams was playing on the right wing for us !

Shortly after the Oxford game, I turned to the teletext report to see if they thought we were as good as I thought we were. There it was in black and white - 'Reading took the lead with a lob from Adrian Williams'.

Now I can't always tell Andy Bernal and Lee Nogan apart ( what do you mean Bernal is the one being shown the red card ?) and in their early days I had trouble distinguishing Archie and Scott Taylor. But, do me a favour, how on earth can anyone get Adrian Williams and Martin Williams confused !!!???

For those of you still struggling here are a few clues:

ADRIAN WILLIAMS is a full Welsh international
MARTIN WILLIAMS nearest experience of international football was a loan spell in Northern Ireland
