Dave Kitson: King of English scorers
Reading FC’s Dave Kitson, I see, was featured in another broadsheet sports section on Saturday.Â
According to the article From Tavern to Tottenham via Sainsbury’s on the Dave Kitson road to stardom in The Times, bidding for the striker, who is now the highest-scoring Englishman in the Premiership (as known, I’m sure, by Fabio), would start at £20 million (when he joined the Royals in 2003 he cost £300k). [As pointed out by a reader, the £20 million would be for Berbatov, rather than Kitson.]
Interestingly, Kitson and I both used to work at Sainsbury’s and we both have ginger hair (not much, in my case, as I lost most of it when I was younger). The comparisons end there. Obviously.

That would be £20mil for Berbatov not Kitson but I’m sure such an offer would be accepted by Reading as well.
Kitson has gone from strength to strength recently and surely it is because my son chose his number on his is new shirt before the Middlesborough game

Thanks Terry! I failed to spot that in the article. I should have given it more thought (£20 million is a bit on the high side) anyway. Pretty dumb.
