Congratulations to Sir John Madejski our patron, and of course Reading Football Club’s former owner and chairman. He celebrated his milestone birthday on the 28th of April. Sir John became involved in the Royals in 1990, and under his stewardship we reached the Premier league for the first time in the club’s history in 2006. He eventually sold the club in 2012 and remains honorary life president of the club.

We are always grateful to Sir John for his support of the former players association, and look forward to seeing him at one of our future events once things have returned to normal.
