Barrel of Fun
Abort, retry, fail
The idea of Royals fans taking the number 13 squad number came from supporter Andy Manson in the summer of 2001 when the number 13 was left vacant by boss Alan Pardew after the departure of Keith Scott. Soon after the idea was implemented, England boss Sven Goran Eriksson held a Royals shirt with '13 Sven' on the back before an England under 21 international at Madejski Stadium!
Promotion was secured in number 13's first full season
What can be said about our number 13? Without doubt one of the most important players at the Club, and they never miss a game home or away. Has played every game since 1871, and shows no signs of missing one either!
Make your mind up. Hasn't missed a game since 1871, but played 'his' first full season in 2001...
