Starting with coverage of Reading’s 1-0 defeat of Aston Villa in the 1912 FA Cup 2nd Round, this book charts a glorious history of great games and League and Cup titles through the decades of the 20th century.

Read about the first match at the Madejski Stadium against Luton in 1998 and the rise in fortunes since then, culminating in winning the English Champions League and gaining promotion to the Premiership in 2006.

Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Reading fans.
