The Reading Connection

It has been a long time since Reading were making headlines, these days those headlines are  thanks in no small part to the strong Irish contingent at the Madjeksi. They have now won 7 games in a row and find themselves firmly in the reckoning for promotion from the Championship. Just have a bloody look at the top scorers chart.

Ian Harte of Leeds and free kick fame is there with 10, Ireland's tallest small striker Shane Long is among the division's top goal getting experts and the brother Noel Hunt is popping up with his fair share. The Irish lads are responsible for a grand total of 39 goals of the 62 l Reading have scored so far this season. The connection doesn't end there. Elsewhere at Reading you will find the capped Jay Tabb in the first team with the likes of Julian Kelly, Danny Joyce, Marcus Williams and Dave Mooney out on loan.

All we need now is a Corrigan bros song about it, no actually we don't there is one around somewhere, but we can't be bothered.
