Reading FC 1933-34 season: A scarce newspaper supplement and even scarcer original team photo, which I believe hung the wall at Elm Park #readingfc

Wishing a very Happy 68th Birthday to former #readingfc favourite Kevin Bremner, who was adored at Elm Park for his all-action style and 100% commitment.

40 years ago today, #readingfc beat Bolton to equal Spurs' 25-year-old record by winning their first 11 League games of the season. Man Utd were also on course after winning 10, but drew their next against Luton.

Pocket sized programme for today's #readingfc v #stags which dates from November 1958, 3-3 draw (Ayre 2, McLuckie) in the first season of Division 3, 13,559 at Elm Park was probably bigger crowd than we will see today? @TheTilehurstEnd @cribsie @OldRoyalsStuff @STARReading

40 years ago today #readingfc won their 10th straight league game of the season with an incredible attacking display v Chesterfield. Forget the 4-2 result; they got two on the break, but we could have had double figures. The corner count of 24-0 reflects the game more accurately.

Liverpool dropping points today means that Reading's all-time League record of 13 consecutive wins at the start of a season will now stretch beyond 40 years. The longer it lasts, the more you realise what an outstanding achievement it was #readingfc

Another one of Reading's greatest players is Alf Messer, a dominant centre-half from between the wars. Alf was said by many to be the best uncapped player in England during the late 1920s, and every match report I've read from the time singles out his brilliance #readingfc

Inside-forward Maurice Edelston, one of #readingfc's greatest ever players. After he finished playing, Maurice became a well-known commentator for the BBC after an introduction by his friend John Arlott. He covered football and tennis until his death at the age of 57 in 1976.

This pocket sized #barnsleyfc v #readingfc is only 11 days younger than me, 1-0 defeat at the end of a season where we played 6 games (including 5 away) between 4-18 May and avoided relegation on goal average (sending Bradford PA down) @TheTilehurstEnd @cribsie @STARReading

Just to prove my appeals sometimes work: As direct result of me asking for original #readingfc team pictures the other day, I've been able to add these stunning press photos from the 1960s.
