OK I'm with the question now. Jimmy Quinn scored the record number of league goal of any player who ever played for Reading. But he did not score the majority of those goals whilst a Reading player. So he is not the 'club' record goalscorer but he is the record league goal scorer who ever played for the club (as at 02). Or something like that
