SHAUN GOATER AND READING FC

Early day motion 284, tabled 15 December 2003 by Jane Griffiths (Labour). Signed by 9 members.

That this House congratulates Reading striker Shaun Goater on his award of an MBE; applauds his contribution to Reading reaching fifth in Division One; further applauds his commitment to children and sport on his home island of Bermuda, where he returns every summer to conduct soccer schools; concurs completely with the oft-expressed sentiment of Reading FC supporters, "feed the goat and he will score"; and wishes Shaun Goater and the rest of Reading FC the best of luck for the rest of the season.

Signatures by party: Labour 8, Liberal Democrat 1.
