The Ballad of Reading Goal



--Edit 9th Oct -- The Video of the match keeps getting pulled, but the Video of Chris Kamara is much better. Unbelievable Jeff!

I just wanted an excuse to use that oh-so-clever headline. It's quite scary how many google hits suggest that Oscar Wilde wrote a poem about Reading scoring a goal, or about someone reading Goal Magazine (not just any magazine, this one has "big colour pictures"). Even the "I'm feeling lucky" hit for Ballad of Reading Gaol has goal in the URL.

Congratulations, my missus came up with this headline yesterday afternoon as well, but i hadn't got round to writing a post using it...
