    One of my favourite goals...certainly stuck in my memory. Thought at the time....we're going to be alright.

    Loved that season too and some of the football we played was sublime (the 26 pass David Connolly goal against Boro anyone?).
    Getting promoted that season with that squad was the biggest achievement of the last 10 years IMO and who knows where we might be now and what we might've missed out on if we hadn't managed it then?....

    I genuinely loved all of that squad then, even Schteeeve and Bart.

    That Championship season was amazing. Millwall away was my favourite moment and that was the day I really started to believe we would go up. Shame we didn't win the league but hey, look where Reading are now.

    Championship & Koeman 1 were great because they weren’t expected.

    Best thing about the Championship season was being told all season it wouldn't happen:

    - it's a big step up, you have no chance

    - Fat boy Lambert will never cut it in the Championship.



    Ha, I was going to carry that on but just typing those two out makes the point and gives me a big old grin :)

    See further up...our age is catching up with me. However, without google I can tell you that Coventry 8-2 was 28th April 1984, Steve Moran & Danny wallace Hat tricks and David Armstrong Without googling cant remember the other...maybe Graham Baker. Also, when we got promoted from League One, it was the 28th April :)

    Not quite lost it, but getting doddery :)

    EDIT: Googled and it was Frank Worhty.
