Organised by the Reading Former Players' Association, the charity put on sell-out nights at the Tilehurst British Legion, where punters get a chat with a Royals star and fish and chips included in the price.
Last month, iconic midfielder Steve Sidwell returned to Berkshire, with tickets selling out within a day.
