Name: Reading Fans
Date of Birth: 25/12/1871
Position: Defender

What can be said about our number 13? Without doubt one of the most important players at the Club, and they never miss a game home or away. Has played every game since 1871, and shows no signs of missing one either!

There's been some debate over his best position - is he a defender, defending the Royals at every opportunity? Or is he an attacker - doing everything he can to help get goals for the team? Whatever position he or she plays, she always gives 100%!

The idea of Royals fans taking the number 13 squad number came from supporter Andy Manson in the summer of 2001 when the number 13 was left vacant by boss Alan Pardew after the departure of Keith Scott. Soon after the idea was implemented, England boss Sven Goran Eriksson held a Royals shirt with '13 Sven' on the back before an England under 21 international at Madejski Stadium!

Promotion was secured in number 13's first full season, and since then he has been playing on a permanent rolling contract, experiencing great highs in the Football League, Premier League and FA Cup.
