Goal fest

Has there ever been a professional league club involved in two consecutive matches producing more than the 18 goals at Reading. I have personally seen 17 in 1963 when Fulham played Ipswich at the cottage on the 26th December and won 10-1  and two days later played the away match and lost 4-2.
Mind you when I say I saw them it's not strictly true as at Portman Road it was so foggy that we couldn't see the other end.

I watched the the home game but could not get to the away one.  You used to get a lot of strange results in Christmas then as a lot of the players were blind drunk at kick off.

If Fulham were 4-0 up against anyone i think even we could hold on to that lead. Although im not a massive fan of Arsenal..  i was pleased when they equalized.  Maybe the Reading fans were feeling how i felt when they scored with 2 seconds of normal time left on Saturday.

Of course i remember the Cold New Years eve when we were 4-0 down to Portsmouth only to see us pull it back to 4-4


 Im looking forward to watching the highlights of the game on bbc1 tonight...i didnt get to see it live last night..  i  just want to see it for my own eyes.. how it actually panned out.

As I remember it the fog at Portman Road really hampered Haynes normally pinpoint long passes, he had to guess where the forwards were.
Leggat added to the 4 goals he had scored in the home match and my old mate Johnny Key got the other.    It was the conditions were terrible, absolutely unplayable but the match still went ahead. The excuse was that they didn't want to disappoint the travelling fans...well there was only two of us and we weren't asked. What a car journey home! Couldn't see your hand in front of your face, didn't get home to Barnes till the early hours.

My memory is not as good as it used to be (How many of us say that these days!) but the 10-1 victory on Boxing Day, was that the match that the young Scottish player we had just bought from Arsenal made his debut and tore the oppositions defence apart, I think his name was Maranello. If that was not the game, someone will tell me.

Most goals I have seen in a match is 10.

Unfortunately, Liverpool scored them all... Still, it was quite a night.

No it was another scotsman Graham Leggat who scored 4 and our centre forward, I think his name was Howfield got a hat trick... No idea who got the ball.
The liverpool 10 was up at Anfield I believe, our worst ever defeat. Brave man to go to that one!!!
