Eton boy's royal appointment

Reading have offered a professional contract to Eton student Basil Tuma, who is deputy head boy at the public school. The 17-year-old winger made his first-team debut in Reading’s League Cup defeat by Stevenage last August, but has not played since as he is busy studying for his A-Levels.

Tuma also has academic options, having obtained 11 A*s in his GCSEs, but Reading are hopeful the Uganda-born youngster will choose to commit to football.

How many Eton boys have gone on to have a playing career in football in the modern era?

The match was covered on Millwall Academy Twitter - https://twitter.com/MillwallAcademy

Their equalise was a penalty and sounds like we missed an open goal late on.

Credit due to the club for an article reviewing the season so far for the U 18’s. Very welcome that finally the Academy is getting the attention from the media department it deserves.

Really poor by the club not to advertise that season ticket holders can attend this game- i had to get the ticket office to add the game on to the system yesterday before i could pay my fiver !!!
I was told they would go off sale today, but as it appears they haven`t told anyone yet i don`t see how they can stop anyone wanting to buy on Monday morning !!!

Apparently Reading have a youth striker (Luca Fletcher) being closely watched by Celtic and Rangers….
