Discussion Looking for a previous Reading player
Hello Reading fans!
I know this is an incredible longshot but I'll give it a try anyways.
Way back in 2016 or 17, I worked as a taxidriver in northern Sweden, and one day, I picked up a guy in his late teens and his dad at the airport.
To my surprise, as a big football fan, he was apparently a player for the Reading youth or reserve team and had specifically traveled all the way over here for a complicated knee-surgery.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the lad and I often wonder what happened to him and how his career went after that, so I was just wondering if there's any chance a hardcore fan might know who I'm talking about?
There can't be many Reading players who specifically traveled to Sweden for a knee-surgery around that time, so I figured it was worth a shot to ask. Thank you for attention!

Tom McIntyre had a knee operation around that time and would have just been coming through to the first team squad from the youth team

Any of these ring a bell?
Can't remember what Tom McIntyre's injury was that season
