Glen Little

Glen Little signed for Reading on a Bosman in the summer of 2004 when his contract at Burnley expired.

He started out at Crystal Palace, but never made it into Steve Coppell's frst team and so decided to move to Irish side Glentoran in 1995 on a free.

His time in Ireland lasted just a year before he was back in England with Adrian Heath's Burnley in 1996. He struggled in his first months at Turf Moor only making six appearances in 1996/97 and then 22 in 1997/98.

When Chris Waddle took over in the summer of 1997, his chances became even more limited, but eventually he won Waddle round and became a vital part of his, and later Stan Ternant's, team which narrowly missed the play-offs in both 2000/01 and 2001/02.

But from then on the Clarets struggled and it was no surprise when Little jumped ship for Steve Coppell's ascendant Reading where he has gone on to become one of the most important members in Coppell's record-breaking squad.

Such fine form continued into the 2006/07 season as he played 28 games. He is now a vital and experienced member of the Reading squad.
