Which players were you most disappointed to see leave the club?
Growing up, Sinton and Ferdinand were the players that broke my heart when they left. But in recent times Routledge is the one I was most gutted to see leave. He's the kind of player I just love to watch -- pacey, tricksy winger that whips balls in. And he left in a weird way, with no fanfare.

Mike Keen (even more so than Rodney) because he had been the captain and leader for so long, Phil Parkes, Les (obviously), Darren Peacock (OK, the money was good but he was needed at that time), Clive Allen (obviously). Charlie Austin (again, obviously) and Loic Remy (forget what he's done since, it's what he could have done for us then) are ones that come immediately to mind. |  | | |

Yeah agree about your 3 choices. I'd chuck Paul Parker in with that lot. David Bardsley is probably my favourite all time player. Can't remember him arriving or leaving. |  |

i understood completely why we had to sell Austin and I have no issue with how we did it. but £4m crikey, a couple of years later and the transfer market would have inflated so much so you could see him for £20m, even on the last year of his contract, and Premier League club stil wouldn't have thought twice. terribly unlucky timing. |  |

Agree with most of those. I was very peed off when we sold Dave Needham. He only been with us long enough for me to realise we’ed found a gem and suddenly he’s gone for no particular reason.
So angry I phoned in sick the next day and went to the pub. |  |

Phil parkes.
A bolt out of the blue, never saw it coming.
Parkes himself said he was happy to stay but Jim Gregory wanted the money.
The thing I always remember about that transfer is that I found out via Ceefax which was relatively new technology at the time! |  |

Adel was no longer part of the club in spirit when he left. His time (great as it was) had been and gone.
Stan, Dave Thomas ,and Clint Hill had also reached that "right time". Same with Dave Bardsley who was, IMO, our second best right back ever --- and when you consider that my number one would be Dave Clement that says something.
Richard Langley could and probably should have been very special but he seemed to fall prey to temperament and constant little niggles which affected his pace and the Cruciate injury finished him.
Routledge (though he did have a few too many days off than I liked) --- and Crouchy --- I would never argue with.
Seaman? Meh --- Never one of favs I always felt he felt as if he was just passing through on his way up (and that's exactly how it turned out). | | | |

We signed him from Notts County and within a year, sold him to Notts Forest. If Naymar trots out in Real Madrid white in August, I’ll let you decide. |  |

Devestated by Parker leaving. I couldn't understand why he wanted to go.
Actually too many players to mention here but I'll give you Quashie. When he first broke through he was an awesome player. Had Gullit in his pocket in a cup game at home. He just never kicked on. | | | |

1. Clive Allen (both occasions). The first made me realise that playing for a club like QPR didn’t matter when the big boys came knocking and the second time, that confirmed we’d reached our peak (see below).
2. Terry Venables - not as a player, but as a manager. His departure was the point at which I doubted QPR would ever really mix it with the big boys regularly. | |

The list could go on forever.
Les the worst but Sinton was also gutting as was Sinclair a few years later.
Shittu
Lee Cook although his kind gesture softened to the loss a bit
And my first real dissapointment as a child- Steve Wicks leaving. |  | | |

Just about everyone mentioned above but Phil Parkes was the one that really affected me as I stopped going for 3 years; I was so angry at the club for selling him. That helped to inure me to the resultant sales of assets over the following seasons and now it doesn't affect me anywhere near as much. I think Adel was forced out by fans after the POTY fiasco, Hughes & Redknapp. I always believed that when he went onto the pitch, he never hid, always wanted the ball because he believed he could make a difference which, despite his immaturity in his personality, hasn't always been the case with a number of our players over the years. |  |

I saw him in the Crown and Sceptre a few weeks later. Shook his hand and said how great we all thought he was and sad we were to see him go. “It was nothing to do with me mate” | |

Parkes. I was a child and it was the first time it dawned on me that there was a food chain.
It was the first time my heart was broken and, like with relationships, your heart can only get broken once. It heals, but it heals harder, blacker and smaller. And though it will be torn, pulled, kicked and mauled many, many more times it will never really be broken again. |  |

Think this was an arrangement between Jim Gregory and the forest chairman.
No way were County going to sell their top asset to Forest |  |
