Michael Duberry visited Furze Platt Junior School in Maidenhead on Tuesday.

The Royals defender took time out to give a talk to children about the life of a Premier League footballer. He answered questions, signed autographs and chatted to the children.

And the children had worked out that Duberry's 32nd birthday was coming up and had a collection of birthday cards for the former Chelsea man.

The visit was part of a free coaching course which Reading FC's Football in the Community Scheme are currently running at Furze Platt.

If your school would be interested in free coaching please contact the community office on 0118 968 1415.
