This book chronicles the development of organised sports in Reading from Victorian times to the present day. Drawn from football and athletics, hockey and cricket, swimming, cycling, motor racing and more, the stories are told through the histories of local clubs and the biographies of sportsmen and women, celebrating their achievements both on and off the pitch.
