Reading FC fans descended on town centre venue the Purple Turtle on Sunday evening for a Q&A event with three club legends.

Leroy Lita, Glen Little and Nicky Shorey were key players in Reading’s 2005-6 season, as they won the Championship title with a record 106 points and secured promotion to the Premier League for the first time in the club’s history.

Sunday’s Q&A event was a sell out, with fans packing in to the Purple Turtle to hear the trio reminisce about the record-breaking 106 season and Reading’s first Premier League season, which ended with an eighth place finish as the team came within one point of securing a European place.

Fans also got to ask the former players questions and meet them.

Sunday’s event was the latest Q&A with former Reading players at the Purple Turtle, following three similar events at the venue in November last year with Shorey, Adam Le Fondre and Jem Karacan.

Tickets for the Q&A event with Quinn are available by sending a WhatsApp message to 07842 627548.
