- Here is a feature shown on BBC London News in 2016 , it celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Queen's Park Rangers side (arguably the greatest in the club's history) that so nearly won the Football League Championship.
The best ever Rangers team. Very entertaining. A great 2-0 win over Liverpool early in the season with Gerry Francis scoring what was voted the Goal of the Season. Deserved to win the league. League winners in the eyes of Rangers fans. COYR's!
I was 15 and couldn’t get enough of 1st division football it was a brilliant season but hardly on tv cause it wasn’t available then 1975/76 ( had to wait for wknd ) so it was exciting and the Shoot mag was brilliant every sat for 50p
Been watching football for 74 years and can honestly say coming from Plymouth that the 1975 QPR team was the best football entertaining side I have ever seen,god bless them all for the enjoyment they gave to their fans,I was at RAF Uxbridge from 1972 to 1975 WAS A PLAYER FOR THE RAF ,AN F.A COACH but was in awe of the Rangers 👍
Thank you for your service.
QPR deserved the title that season. A highly entertaining journey from August to May. It was the Norwich game that cost them, unfortunately.⚽️🙁 👏🏼Fantastic effort though 👍🏼
Hi QPR what an amazing team you had in the mid 70s and such gentleman as Jago and Sexton to assemble it. I came across you as my family are all MCFC and my granddad said Stan was the best footballer ever to come out of my fair city. So sad for stan and his family to hear of his horrible illness. The joy he"s given to all football fans and especially you QPR fans is immense and that Stan and his family are in all our thoughts. Something must be done by the PL or FA to fund care around Altzeimers for ex pros. Money isnt short at the top end of the game. Let's care for those who gave us such happiness through playing it.✌
Contrast this with Leeds a few years earlier. Leeds were forced to play their last game away at Wolves just 2 days after beating Arsenal at Wembley in the FA Cup final. Wolves had had a full week off. The FA did not allow Leeds any time as they just didn't want them to win the double. Come 1976 and Liverpool get given all the time in the world.
You are right.
Off the top of my head - Parkes, Clement, Gillard, Mclintock, Hollins, Webb, Mason, Thomas, Francis, Bowles, Givens. Sub Leach
That was the classic lineup I knew. My first game was 19 April 1976 .
2 -1 v Arsenal and QPR went top of the League. What an atmosphere. I remember being frightened by the noise at first.
They should have been league champion that season
I remember that season well I was nine. I remember watching the R's on Match of the Day. What a wonderful team that was.
O boy such great days. It was real Roy of the rovers stuff. Every two weeks as a 16 year after playing football for my school on Saturdays ( Willesden high school) about five/ six of us would go down to loftus road and cheer on Queen’s Park rangers. We use to worm our way down to the front behind the goal. Once when the ball was out of play I smacked it . Cor and wow what a team Stan Bowles Gerry Francis etc and of course Dave Thomas our world class winger.
i was in the loft and on the pitch when the ref blew the final whistle against leeds, amazingly incredeble season that was followed by the brilliant uefa cup run the following season, shame for the matches against norwich away and aek in athens.
Just a brilliant team, with brilliant players!!!!
Just a bunch of wankers.
Still to this day cant believe QPR did not win the league title. ' Day light Robbery'.
Gerry Francis was a great player for QPR and England
My Dad took me to Molyneiux for that Wolves game and put us in the away end, it was scary mad, so many fans, amazed nobody was seriously hurt
Yeah great side. Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis, Dave Thomas, Don Masson etc. They could and should have won somethiing in the 1970s.
I remember this time very well - Liverpool had a 10-day advantage which would be deemed inappropriate now & my beautiful boys were the BEST team that year:
That away defeat at Norwich cost them the title
Yes, greatest side, no question.
This is torture! Who’s the demon who thought this one up?
I still reckon 66/67 was better
And all before plastic fantastic 😳
Liverpool would never have gone onto win those European Cups.
The result against Norwich was a massive blow but dropping points against the teams that were eventually relegated didn't help.
From the end of January apart from the Norwich game that fantastic run was spoiled by a goalless away draw at Sheffield United.
@@stewartbeddoe8617 Yes your right Stan Bowles mentioned this in his autobiography when he said the 0-0
Draw at Sheffield United cost them the title. I believe Sheffield United only got 12 points that season.
@@ga-ow7yf The blades actually ended up with with a total of 22 points, 6 wins and 10 draws.
The Rs also dropped points to another team that was relegated that season losing 1 - 0 away to Burnley.
@@stewartbeddoe8617 Thanks for replying im sure in Stans book he said Sheffield Utd only got 12 points.
Saying that maybe my memory is up the creek.
@@ga-ow7yf you and me both lol
I had only just turned 10 at the time but great memories from that season, one was leaving just before the end of the stoke game, I think it was because my brother wanted to get home a bit early cause he was going out that evening, anyway we had a mad dash back onto the loft after Webb scored to win the game 3 - 2 for the Rs, obviously the Leeds game stands out and then running onto the pitch after with Stewards in tow trying to catch me 😅
But yes the record book does show the blades did finish was 22 points.
Off topic I know, but who is that lady presenter??
