Great interview reminding us of a Great Man 🔵⚪️
There will be a lot of past Reading/Exeter players out there in the same boat as I am regarding this great man. Saturday will be a brilliant day and hopefully he will be watching ❤️💙

Today was about the long-awaited return of football. It was made possible by a lot of hard work from a lot of good people behind the scenes. Few worked harder for the club than this man. One of the good guys. So today was also about Eamonn. Four years on. Always in our hearts.

"The harder you work, the luckier you become" On this day three years ago, we lost the man who set the foundations for what the @RFCAcademy is today. His passion and skill helped so many, and he will never be forgotten. We love you, Eamonn. Forever in our hearts 💙

Already looking forward to seeing this man back out there, pulling the strings in midfield for us next season! Very best of luck with the rehab @Ryan_East98 #OneOfOurOwn
Surgery on my knee done today ✅ Not the way I imagined my season ending but unfortunately it has! A rollercoaster of a season as always but it’s been the best one of my career so far. Looking forward to getting back fit for pre-season 🙏🏻 @ReadingFC
