In Honour of Obama: pick your all-time Reading black XI

[Dick Habbin's hairdo]

As Jackson Corner said.... Possibly swap Sonko for Bikey, and possibly Asaba for for Goater?

I don't post very often but sometimes the lack of common sense on this board makes me seethe!

Racism = hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

This thread = celebration/recognition of a group of players with a common characteristic.

Would a thread picking the best team of Irish players be "racist"? Would a thread picking the best team of left footed players actively discriminate against those who are right-footed? Don't be daft.

ok good point

i cant take my vote back now

However, as someone else pointed out, had the thread been about picking the best team of white players all hell would have let loose, regardless of the motives of whoever started the discussion. Not really a level playing field then is it? Despite this I voted no!

Barry Hunter fair-haired?
I don't think so.
Was Fred Sharpe included in the folically challenged lot?

The Baldilocks 11

GK Hahnemann
RB Gurney
LB Gordon
CB Sonko
CB Duberry
RM Igoe
LM Rougier
CM Matejovsky
CM Gamble
CF Owusu
CF Lita

Scraping the barrel for central midfielders!!

Harper's surely better suited for this than Matejovsky? Neither are bald, but Harper's hair was incredibly short at one stage.
