[The 17 Bus]

well thats the end of this thread all we need now are the weekly inane questions

[M4 Junction 11]

David Downs


Reading Football Club. 100 Greats

Now what do you ask the 'Club Historian'

[Forbury Lion]

Do you still have the Simod Cup bathwater and do you regret not sticking it on ebay now that the Simod Cup winning side are no longer the greatest Reading team in history?


Do you really get odd questions sent to you for your Evening Post column or do you just make them up?


There are must be over 50,000 people now who claim to have witnessed Robin Froday's wonder goal at Elm Park, Each with a different story to tell. As the club historian, What's the official version of events and did you witness it yourself?

[M4 Junction 11]

- Do you think it is ever possible to justify £3,000 for the definitive guide of everything about a club like The Manchester United Opus?

What shampoo do you use?

[Forbury Lion]

Did you grow your beard especially for the role of historian?


Can you name the last Reading player to play with a beard and I mean a proper beard not a goatee like Marcus.

Ollie's in Manchester all day today (do you think he's forgotten the game is tomorrow) so perhaps someone should remind Tim ( tim.dellor@bbc.co.uk ) we have a phone-in thread

- David, You published Biscuits & Royals in '84. When are we going to see the 2nd Edition in the Madejski Megastore? Will this be your next project once you publish The History of Reading's Managers?

Has Reading FC had, at least once, players with their second initial a,b,c all the way to z? (Found this one hard to word )

[Royal Lady]

Do you mean like A for Andy and B for Bernal etc?

[M4 Junction 11]

Do you mean like A for Andy and B for Bernal etc?

I think he means like Asaba, Blackman, Cureton, though I don't understand why he doesn't just check on wikipedia.org.

- David, What players of note do you believe are missing from the list on wikipedia.org?

- Hob Nob Anyone or wikipedia as the most useful source of information about what's going on at Reading F.C.?
