Rumour: John Mackie

[Basingstoke Royal]

Has issued a "come and get me" plea on Twitter. @john6gmack

Come on Brian - you know this makes sense. Free transfer, Reading legend - no brainer.

[URZZZZZZZZ]

Racist

[robb the royal]

Shorey also backed him by re-tweeting it.
They also both signed off with #youllneverbeatjohnmackie which was cool
Come on Brian! Sign him up, proven reading legend who will be hungry to prove himself at this level. If we sign him we will be unplayable, because

The thought of John Mackie knocking Rooney off the ball before launching the ball 50 rows into the old trafford stand is droolworthy.

Pair him alongside Pearce and he'd make him look like Pique!

[who are ya?]

I've got an image in my head of him playing in a flat cap, shouting 2 for a pound

[Reading4eva]

Where did he go... I forgot his existance

[Royalwaster]

Played for Leyton Orient for a while ...

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Wages could be a problem...

He was fairly epic in that Chelsea cup game though against Hasselbaink and Shevchenko

[blueroyals]

he has since retired from the game and now runs a fruit and veg stall in Camden Market.

[Dare to Dr£am]

Terrible player. I never understood why people took to him to much.

:shock:

Why are you shocked? He did that before Pardew brought him here, and he went back to it when his career came to end.

The game was December 2003 - Shevchenko hadn't signed for Chelsea. Mackie did ok but I remember him being twisted in and out by Hernan Crespo (who I maintain is one of the very best players I've ever seen live - even if he was against the heroic Mackie)

[The Rouge]

he did have a little purple patch with us and looked great in that spell. Didnt he look good in league 1 but look out of depth when in champ? or is my memory wrong on the dates..?

Ah cheers BF, didn't think Shevchenko was quite right.

[Mike Hunt]

Who is John Mackie, and what does he do?

Where's the Ricky Newman thread

I always thought we were being ironic and that's what am the chant so much fun.

Might be worth dropping by on an away day to London.

I thought QPR had just extended his deal
