BBC NEWS: Former Reading FC defender calls legend ‘best captain ever’
Sean Morrison, a former Reading defender, called Royals icon Jobi McAnuff ‘the best captain I ever had.’
Morrison joined Reading in 2011 and played around 50 games for the club, while McAnuff was captain until moving to Cardiff City in 2014.
McAnuff went on to play nearly 300 games with the Bluebirds, the majority of them as captain, and is now an EFL legend with over 800 appearances.
The winger joined Reading in 2009 and left in 2013, having captained the Royals to the Premier League under Brian McDermott.
Morrison spoke at length on the Central Club Podcast about his time in Berkshire and his former colleagues, particularly McAnuff.
“[He was] the best captain I had,” Morrison stated. “He was wonderful. Many of the characteristics I aspired to as a captain came from seeing Jobi as captain. He never pretended to be somebody else when he spoke to others; he was always himself. I’ve seen captains that feel obligated to say anything or be the loudest person in the room simply because they are captain. Jobi was naturally himself, and everyone appreciated him. “If he spoke, you would listen.”
