Charl91 Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Judging from the Reading forum, most of them didn't rate him as captain.
Alexikokopops Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 I don't think Mills has any known birth place or parentage. He was found wandering the streets of Swindon and taken in by Gary Mills, who trained him to become the footballer he is today.
bald reynard Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Yeh he was deffinatly in Swindon at a young age. I remember getting dicked by his brother in primary school football. Do you know if he has any connections with Leicester - grew up in the City (or County) etc ? I wonder where the mention of Leicester (on Wikipedia ?!) came from - or was it just wishful thinking on someones part ?!
I am Rod Hull Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Is King really a good captain? He never wins the toss... we need a big tosser imo.

I changed it to Leicester because it said he was Leicester-born in the Reading article. At the time there was no actual link to anything saying he was from Swindon (that I'd seen anyway). Plus I just wanted to stir things up a bit.
m00nie Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Not signed yet. It could still go tits up He signed hours ago..

Well someone mentioned his dad played for city?? no idea about that. as the only city fan in school (excluding my brother) i would have thought it would have been mentioned. Id shout for king as captain but we don't know who gels best and can hold the team together, esp with a whole new back 5.
RGFox Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Read an article in the local (Reading) rag about Mills during a pre-match piece before they played us last season. He said, though he was born in Leic, his family moved when he was 1, so didn't really have any affinity with the place. Still, I'd be happy enough for him to reproduce his form per last season, £4.5m for a 24-yr old with a couple of good seasons, ain't bad. When he moves on, in a couple of years' time we'll get atleast that back.
GH1 Posted 7 July 2011 Author Posted 7 July 2011 Born in leicester is good enough for me - he will have an affinity for the place in a few weeks thats for sure
Corky Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 I'd like to see how King does as captain. Mills will be there to offer advice.
ajthefox Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Definitely shouldn't be giving it to someone who has just joined.
Foxybeaver Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Yeah, I was going by Wikipedia to be honest which looks like has been changed at some point to say he was born in Leicester. He probably wasn't then. Maybe he is to awesome to have been born in one place but instead is the mix of two different babys magicly connected in a shed in Leicester, I just blew your mind
Blinking Blue Owl Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Yeh he was deffinatly in Swindon at a young age. I remember getting dicked by his brother in primary school football. Hope getting dicked is a footballing term ?

Fox92 Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I think Mills for captain too Dominant centre half and more vocal than King. However, he has just joined but I've seen this happen at other clubs before.
Dicko Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I think Mills will be made Captain shortly before the season starts. He's a natural leader at the back, and I think defenders make better Captains generally. Nothing against King, he's a fantastic player, but i'm not convinced he's really a leader.
