In 1912, Ted Hanney became the second Reading player to win an Olympic gold medal with the Great Britain football team (in reality the England amateur side) after Herbert Smith in 1908 #readingfc
A very scarce cigarette card issued around 1910, for wearing in your 'buttonhole or hat' #readingfc
After quite a painful uploading process, my whole match worn collection of 135 shirts is now on instagram 😮💨 #readingfc instagram.com/readingfc_matc…
Belated Birthday wishes to the legendary Michael Gilkes, who turned 60 yesterday. With his electric pace, Gilkesy was one of #readingfc's most exciting players ever.
'Reading Cup Team' 1912. The Southern Leaguers famously beat First Division Aston Villa thanks to a stunning goal from the great Allen Foster #readingfc
Back to 1959 for today's #readingfc v #spurs, the days when players wages were sensible and they needed a testimonial to build a small retirement fund before doing jobs like you and I, enjoy today's friendly, I'm not there due to pre-existing engagement @TheTilehurstEnd @cribsie
From an old scrapbook, the #readingfc team that beat Spurs 2-0 in the FA Cup at Elm Park in January 1929. Very quiet on the collecting front at the moment – does anyone have anything similar?

Back in 1966, 'Old Timer' had a letter published in the Evening Post, where he complained about the 'terrible din' of the records played before matches at Elm Park, which had replaced the traditional band. What on earth would he make of what's heard today? #readingfc
Reading equalled their record league win when they thrashed Southport 8-0 in the last game of 1969-70, making them the top-scorers in the Football League. This qualified them for a game against Man Utd in the Watney Cup, which was played at Elm Park on August 1st #readingfc
