I wonder what on earth prompted Reading FC to reach out to the oil rich middle east?

The presentations, which are attended by on average 200 children at a time, make the most of the appeal of Reading as well as former footballers, who tackle the importance of road safety, which is a big issue in the Middle East, and warn against the dangers of alcohol, smoking and drugs.

I wonder how many players would benefit from this?

I do wonder why this particular Sultan8 was chosen.

Might be something to do with the fact that his residence in the UK is in Wargrave (- the 'kin big white house on top of the hill on the right as you go out of Wargrave towards Henley)so he is a local Sultan. Although I believe he has been to the property once since he bought it about 25 odd years ago.

Yeh, but anything to get him involved.
