Quiz: Every Reading player ever

by Clyde1998 » 10 Nov 2025 16:08

Using the Heritage Numbers list, I've put together a quiz where you have to name every player who's played for Reading: link.

I can't imagine anyone will get all 1,507 players (especially as the maximum time I could provide was an hour). Would be interesting to see how well people do with this though.

I stopped after it said that Senior wasn't a correct answer

Although, weirdly, if you type Trevor it picks it up.

Ah yeah

OK, got any idea how to get it to accept Wdowcyzk?

Good spot. That should be corrected now.

The automatic name tool the site picked up 'Senior' as something to be ignored as not part of the name directly - similar to Junior.

If anyone spots any other issues, please point them out. I think I've already found most of the recent players who would've had issues like this.

Dariusz Wdowczyk

Got over 300 in an hour, my stumbling block was trying to work out how the hell you spell Tomasz Czywka and what idiot version the system has as the name for our famous Bulgarian international ‘cos it sure isn’t his proper name (Borislav Mihaylov).

Not “cheating” by using one of the many tomes or web pages there are about I was quite proud of getting a couple of the more obscure names in Ernie Yard and Paul Lemon. Anyone got those that are even more obscurerer.

Oh and it didn’t like Bert Eggo at all :?

Spent the first minute or so putting in common names (Smith, Jones etc) and got to almost 100.
