Slough Town manager Scott Davies: “He’s no good with the ball at his feet”

Reading FC players aplenty in Davies' top picks

Enterprise National League South boss Scott Davies joined Football in Berkshire for a trip down memory lane, picking out some of the best players he’s played with.

The Rebels manager was speaking on the Football in Berkshire podcast (Berkshire Football Stories) and picking his 5-aside team as we gear up for the PLAION Launchpad Berkshire 5s at the weekend.

Among the players picked, Davies had a number of former Reading FC stars from his time with the club including a lovely story about Shane Long when he first arrived in Reading.

“He was never going to get in ahead of Kitson, Doyle or Lita at the beginning”
