Reading FC has paid respect to the late Charlie Hurley, former first-team manager. Hurley, who was born in 1936, died at 87 earlier this week.
Hurley became Reading manager in 1972 after playing for Millwall, Sunderland, and Bolton Wanderers, totaling more than 550 league matches.
He led the Biscuitmen to fourth-tier promotion in the 1975/76 season before leaving the club in February 1977. Hurley is also credited with introducing Reading star Robin Friday to the club in 1974.
