German sub sinks Exeter

[Forbury Lion]

Has there ever been a better Reading FC headline? (or maybe you could suggest one that never was)


German sub sinks Exeter - Uwe Hartenberger came off the bench and scored the winner for Reading to beat Exeter City.

I sat down and cried on Reading Station - after the 1985 2-2 Wolves game in the Birmingham University newspaper becuase it was run by a Reading fan.

My dad was on the Exeter in the Battle of the River Plate in 1939 and she was definately not sunk by a German sub. In fact the Exeter was sunk by Japanese aircraft in the Java Sea in 1943...... but it is a good headline.

Encounter and Pope responded by making smoke, and later attempted a torpedo attack, while Exeter returned fire, but at 11:20 Exeter sustained a major hit in her boiler room, resulting in a loss of power and slowing her to 4 knots. As the four Japanese cruisers closed in on Exeter, Encounter and Pope were ordered to make all speed for a nearby rain squall, in an attempt to shake off pursuit; wracked by gunfire, Exeter was brought to a standstill, and the destroyer Inazuma closed in for a torpedo attack. Exeter sank at 11:40, 50 miles south of Borneo.

Shame we didn't have a Japanese player as the more historically accurate headline could have been used.

It's a copy of -

'GERMANS' JAP SUB SINKS FOREST'

1979 - Euro Cup semi v Koln (?) 3-3 - Okodera (??). A rival paper ran with 'BLACK FOREST'.

Forest then shocked the world by winning the 2nd leg, which wasn't done in those days.
