Noel Hunt looked certain to score for Reading during a goalmouth scramble after keeper Lee Grant fumbled Ian Harte's free-kick.

But Mee, already on the floor, bravely stuck his head behind the ball and, risking a serious head injury, took the full impact at point-blank range to divert the ball over.

It was an astonishing act of bravery, putting his head in where it hurts, just inches from Hunt's swinging boot.
