ankeny Tommy is alive and well and has granted an interview with our FB Group,we are gathering members questions at the moment for it.

Sounds good . Will a interesting read. Thanks for all the comments . Looks like Tommy is still highly thought of.

Does anybody have any memories of Tommy Jenkins .
Part of the Jack Mansell , pass and move team 1969/1970
season . He only played 21 games scoring 5 goals
before being sold for a record fee to Southampton.

Sad news May he rest in peace.

You can actually chart our problems way back in 1970/71 when "The Board", in their infinite wisdom, decided to sack Jack Mansell after a dismal run that left us in dire straits towards the foot of old Div 4. In a few short months he had transformed us into the original "tippy tappy&q...

Tom Jenkins.

Ark Royal My most devastating experience ever as a Reading fan. You just knew that the team would break up. To be honest, I thought we would get relegated the following season - and it was close.

Never been on a quieter train on the way home. We where mugged

windermere_royal love to shake Rogers hand today wherever he is for saving our club. an old man now but forever in our hearts.

Less of the old man,he his my age

Lol .

Both Smee and Madejski were saviours of the Club but for very differing reasons and under very different circumstances but both had the same end game ambition; survival of Reading Football Club. It cannot be argued however that if Smee (and especailly his muscle man Brooks) had not done what they h...

Roger and Roy Tranter , Jim Brooks . Saved our Club. Roger bank rolled the high court etc. Mr Waller and his gang where sunk . Waller was a very rich man . Tight crook from what, I have heard. http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/429038_10151601812140130_956508672_n.jpg

Good he is rubbish.

For anyone interested there is an interview with Jack Mansell on my own site - http://royalsrendezvous.co.uk/topic/9821472/1/ Don't know who he is, book five hours out your day to read his biography put together by our members that follows :shock: Fantastic Pea,brilliant read,my first manager watch...

Great memories of the whole cup run that year not least of which getting home at about midnight after this game. RFC v Coventry Simod Cup sf 88 03 02 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVqPK7Lyf-w I would love to know what the crowd was for this game? Officially it was supposed to be just over 15,000....

Why can we not pass to feet . Keep the ball is it that hard .
This direct shit is just shocking. Deadwood and Mcanuff.
Need to go asap .

Ok so what are peoples memories of Jack Mansell's Pass and move team .
Where they that good or just a light weight bunch .

Burns , Taxi , Well where shocking . Mansell, Was years ahead of his time . Perhaps other teams sussed him out . Because they could not live
With the pass and move football .

First fell in love with Jack Mansell's great 69/70 team, but for me Mark McGhee was the nexus for our eventual rise to the Prem with Coppell. After years of complete dire shite, McGhee's teams played some of the best football I have ever seesn from a Reading team. There were glimpses early in 92/93...

Love that strap superb . A winners medal .

Yes we can . Get gunter out of the team asap. One more proven player will make a difference.

Where has the money gone.Did we not learn from the last time.
