@Paul Morgan.....all the old cliches come flooding back. PAY GATE MONEY JUST TO SEE HIM PLAY....all true. 2.30 on match day he'd be in the spread eagle pub opposite the old Elm Park ground. Charlie Hurley had to send someone over to drag him to the ground. 90 minutes later he'd run everyone off the park, score a couple of goals, got booked, pulled the keepers shorts down at a corner kick. Then go back to the pub and drink with the supporters.

Hello Daniel. Iworked with your grandad for a number of years on the post at Acton. Your uncle Robin turned out as a ringer for the W3 postmans Wednesday side a couple of times. I remember he really enjoyed the game against to police side from Henden

I remember the times in Acton, shepherds Bush and Chiswick he was a couple of years older than me but along with his brother Tony, who was a real nice guy, there were some crazy moments and eye opening incidents.

Came across his name in a Dutch book, got fascinated and bought The Greatest Footballer You Never. Great read but also really sad..

He was a flawed genius, they often are. As a Reading boy I saw a lot of his games for the 'Biscuit men', as I will always term the club. I derived from the late 30s so for me the 70s was basically am alien era. I was maybe brought up differently, had a certain disciplined aspect to life. I was at that Tranmere game although I had moved from Reading by then, on marriage in 66. He was incredible. We are dispatched to this planet by our creator, as individuals. He was certainly a character, later on, Gazza was of similar vein, as I was also a Spurs fan. Met some real Wags when I did National Service. I tell you. You certainly remember these blokes.

Will never forget sitting on the wall by the corner flag with Reading leading by a goal with a few minutes left. Friday decided to put on a show of keepy uppy to kill some time. Several opposition players pushed and jockeyed him but all were shrugged off as the man had fun with the ball. Eventually a frustrated player scythed him down in desperation,free kick. Friday had a huge grin and the whistle blew moments later. Class act if ever there was one.

Thanks for the uploads. Sheds a lot of light on a story I knew so little about, having emigrated in '73 at 13 years of age.

Hi Richard it's Jamie the maker of this film. Would you mind emailing me on friio1983@gmail.com? It's nothing to worry about and I have no issue with you uploading it, I'm quite flattered actually but I just need to go over a couple of things. Thanks.

My Robin Friday memory comes from October 1976 , Reading v Sheffield Wednesday in Division 3. Wednesday brought a huge away support that day, completely over running the ground with Reading supporters keeping a low profile. Wednesday's teenage keeper Chris Turner gathers a back pass-behind him a terrace packed with Wednesday-ites, up comes Robin Friday to give Turner a head butt and gob in his face ; cue outraged Owls ! Only Robin Friday !
