Watched Dave play for Burnley against my team Birmingham City back in 1971 the best winger I ever watched could have been a regular in the England team.
To all the QPR fans , what a absolute legend and player Dave Thomas was, joined my team Everton after QPR and brought so much happiness to my childhood
Played against David at junior school and played with him for Bishop Auckland boys in senior school he left school for Burnley and went straight into their first team
QPR shot themselves in the foot by selling him to Everton at his peak. They made the same mistake soon afterwards, this time selling Phil Parkes to West Ham. QPR declined quickly after the mid-1970s, but is it any surprise when you offload your best players?
Being a small club they have & always will sell on players. The team they had mid 70's was a great chance to press on but ..... 1st game at Rangers mid 70's v Burnley 1- 0 Thomas goal. Good old days.
He was the Prototype for how to be a Winger! Fast,skillful and def one of the best delivers of a ' Cross' in World Football,let alone Englist Div 1!
Brilliant for Everton with Bob Latchford.
A true gem of a player, pinpoint crossing with both feet. One of my favourites. Good luck David.
Dave was excellent for Burnley too. Smashing player.
THIRD BEST QPR of all time - only Gerry & Stan beat DT:
Skilled, super fast and totally genuine. I saw quite a lot of Rangers in the 70s. I was a lucky man.
I often view their 70’s games on here and Big Match Revisited, a joy to watch. I see Dave occasionally and he talks fondly of his days at Loftus Road.

He was a great player but John Robertson from Forest just pips him for me
Best Winger I`ve ever seen in 50 years watching football from 1970 to 2020.
I agree, wonderful player
This man epitomises QPR of the 70s. My 1st favourite Rangers player.
Socks rolled down...flying down the wings... a true QPR legend. 🏴

My favourite QPR player as a kid
Great player .
He had no peer. King of the wings. A QPR legend indeed.
Great player, watched him and Bowles many times, Thomas was my favourite by a long shot
Awesome player. Should never be forgotten. Thanks for the post.
