    80s: Alan Judge the goalkeeper, who was on load with us 87/8, and Dean Horrix, far right back row who was also on loans with us 86/7 and die very young in a car crash I think.

    60s is Maurice Eddleston , who went on to become a journalist/broadcaster. I think he used to do commentaries for the BBC on radio.

    80's - Nicky Plautner, front row left end seat?
    Something Christie, front row, right end seat?

    10s - Royston Drenthe

    The 00s is Dean Morgan who has just joined (and scored for) Newport. He's claiming to be 32 but I think someone should double check his birth certificate. The 90s is Lee Nogan. His brother Kurt only scored one goal for us but it was a memorable one, an injury time winner against Hartlepool in 2000. Probably the closest I've come to passing out with shock at a City game, and that's coming from someone who saw Neil Alexander save a penalty.

    And there was me thinking I had a great claim to fame because I had seen Alexander dive the right way for a penalty .

    Both correct - like you, I was surprised to see that Morgan was only 32.

    Originally I thought I could ask name the two former Real Madrid men who have played against us for Reading for the 10s question, but, although Drenthe came on as a sub down here last season when he was on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, he never played for Reading against us - just double checked it to make sure I'm right there.

    The answer is on the blog now if you want to have a look.
