On this day in 2006, history was made in Leicester.

A tale well-known to everyone connected with Reading Football Club, promotion to the top-flight of English football was secured with a 1-1 draw at Leicester City.

After a fairytale season, despite famously losing the first game to Plymouth Argyle, the Royals lost twice all season and accumulated a record 106 points.

Over 3,000 supporters travelled to the-then Walkers Stadium, with many more taking up seats in the home areas of the ground, in the hope of witnessing a moment 135 years in the making.

Iain Hume had not read the script, putting the Foxes in the lead, but Kevin Doyle's header ensured the unbeaten run carried over.

Then it was a waiting game, hoping that Watford and Leeds United had dropped points.

They had, an cue pandemonium in the corner of a deserted King Power Stadium as the players and coaching staff came back onto the pitch to celebrate the moment.

The earliest anyone had been promoted to the Premier League, with six matches still to play, the team were crowned champions the following week after a 5-0 demolision of Derby County at the Madejski Stadium.

Record breakers. History makers.
