All these programmes have Robin Friday ('the greatest footballer you never saw') in the Reading line-up. The match against Exeter City on 10th February 1974, a Sunday (and referred to in the programme as 'getting its long awaited try out' on a Sunday), was Friday's home debut for Reading. The Reading v Northampton 3rd January 1976 programme has a 'Spotlight on Robin Friday' on page 9 [unnumbered], giving details of his career. His league debut for Reading was against Northampton on Sunday 27th January 1974. His first goal was a week later at Barnsley and soon after that he gave up his job as an asphalter. He was player of the year for Reading in 1974/75 and by the time of the Northampton match on 3rd January 1976 he had scored 34 goals in 91 first team appearances. In the April 2nd 1975 programme v Exeter, there is a 'Flashback to last season' section that starts as follows: 'Sunday, 10th February 1974, Reading 4 Exeter 1: Robin Friday, in his first game as a professional player made a sensational home debut. He stamped his name on the game, scored two goals and his enthusiasm seemed to rub off on all the other players". The April 9th 1975 programme has two Robin Friday action photos against Exeter, one page each, one, a 'Mr Showman' header, the other, a dribble.
