  • Kingsley, a seven-foot tall bipedal lion, is the official mascot of Reading Football Club. He was first seen during the 1997-98 season. Up until the end of the 2005-06 season he was played by Noel Selby Armstrong, who has since been appointed assistant kit manager at Reading. The new man in the mask is Reading-born Andrew Hulbert. On March 25 2007, Kingsley ran the Reading Half Marathon raising money for the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK. Kingsley was profiled in the EPL weekly preview show on March 16 2007. The lion has been adopted as an unofficial symbol of Reading, due to the presence in the town of the Maiwand Lion. Kingsley wears a shirt with the squad number 1871, the year Reading FC was founded.
  • 京士利(Kingsley Royal)，是一隻七英尺高的兩腳直立獅子，是雷丁足球會的官方吉祥物。牠於1997－98年球季首次亮相，京士利每逢主場比賽均站在場邊手舞足蹈為球隊打氣。牠穿著一件印有印有「KINGSLEY」及「1871」號碼的雷丁主場球衣，因為1871年是雷丁足球會成立年份。 在2007年3月25日，京士利參加雷丁半馬拉松為波比摩亞基金籌款，籌得1,379英鎊。在2007年3月16日，英超的賽前節目EPL Preview(香港播放版本為「英超Kick Off」)播放京士利的專訪。京士利曾經在一場賽事前的握手儀式中，故意在2006年世界盃出示「三黃一紅」的球證普爾後面，舉起一面寫上「3」字的黃牌，以示揶揄。 京士利成名，很大程度上要歸功於拉利球證。2007年4月30日，雷丁主場對纽卡斯尔的英超聯賽，拉利在上半場末段向京士利發出一面紅牌將其驅逐離場。因為拉利接到助理球證的通知，京士利於場邊走動，令其經常以為有雷丁球員越位。雷丁領隊斯蒂夫·科贝尔賽後亦笑言：「我明白球證為何會感到混淆，牠與我的球員太相似了。」 英格蘭足球總會重看賽事錄影帶後，發言人表示不會作出任何行動。京士利繼續可以在馬迪斯基球場為雷丁打氣。
