Reading FC legend Leroy Lita will be the guest of honour as a host of schools in the Reading and Wokingham area play in a pre-World Cup football tournament on Friday. Lita was Reading's record signing when he joined from Bristol City for £1m in 2005. He helped Reading secure promotion to the Premier League for the first time in the club's history, winning the Championship title with a record 106 points. He then scored the winning goal as Reading came from 2-0 down to beat Gareth Southgate's Middlesbrough 3-2 in their first ever Premier League game in August 2006. Lita will be on hand to present trophies and medals at the Woodley Carnival schools football tournament, which takes place at Woodford Park in Woodley on Friday. Schools entering teams into the boys and girls tournaments include: Nine Mile Ride, Westende Junior School, Woodley C of E Primary School, Robert Piggott, The Coombes, Farley Hill Primary School, Loddon Primary School, Rivermead Primary School, South Lake Primary School, Crazies Hill Primary School, St John's C of E Primary School, Winnersh Primary School, Redlands Primary School, Evendons Primary School and St Dominic Savio Catholic Primary School. Another Reading FC legend in Glen Little was guest of honour at the Woodley Carnival schools football tournament last year. David Bragg, who stepped down after a year as Woodley’s Mayor last month, was also present and participated in the presentation ceremony. Woodley based business owner Charlie Hiscox resurrected the tournament two years ago, after it was discontinued in 2017. He said: 'It was fantastic to be able to bring the tournament back two years ago - and I'm delighted that we will have another Reading FC legend present this year.'
