Lots of threads the last few weeks about the best & worst players who played for us but who are the ones who were here a short while but you fondly recall
Andy Gray - when we signed him I thought it was the signing of the century after seeing him at palace a few years before , loved the brace against Man utd
Ossie Ardillies - couldn't believe we got him , just seeing him with his socks rolled down and in a QPR shirt was very surreal I know he contributed naff all but it was a very exiting time for a 15 year old lad to have him at the club
David Pizanti- for that goal
Mark stein - goal machine, does anyone recall the volley to west ham at home ?
oh and he had lovely thighs |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Ryan Nelsen - what a stunning 6 months he had with us. |  | | |

A lot of great shouts here...wonder how many of those players realise the lasting memories they left us in their career cameos at LR...
A personal one is Dominic Foley, briefly on loan in 2002. My son was mascot this day....beside himself with excitement, it was all going swimmingly until we suddenly found ourselves 2-0 down inside 20 minutes to a crap Notts County team. Foley then turned on the class and got the late winner as we won 3-2. |  |

In my mind I remember Barry Silkman having a stonking home debut and me thinking we've found a new superstar. I was 10 and easily pleased. Still makes me wistful now.
Ditto Dean Neal.
Karl Elsey less so. [Post edited 12 Apr 2017 13:39]

Yes was always a great shame Ben Askar didn't stay longer, but then he probably was too good for us.
Think the first time I saw him was the famous Chelsea pre-season game we won. Didn't know who he was, from a distance he looked like Matthew Rose, I thought to myself "Bloody hell Rose has improved over the summer!"

Tony Thorpe, tidy little striker, unfortunately injuries had probably caught up with him. |  | | |

Andy Tilson.... I thought we had the new Alan Hansen on our hands
A silky centre back who I thought used to purr through games when selected....but they were heady days for me back then!!! |
Good call! |  |

Andy Gray was the first name that sprung to mind, and no wonder. He was electric.
Trevor Francis might seem an odd choice but he only played thirty-two times for us. Man, he was skilful. And so clever.
And a youth prospect - Trevor Challis. I thought that he was the third best player in that phenomenal youth team, behind only Quashie and Gallen. He could read the game superbly, had good technique, nice passer, small but tough and could tackle. A great captain as well. Always thought that we missed a trick in not making a centre-mid out of him, but he was left-footed so he HAD to play left back, and he was probably born ten years too soon for the idea of putting small players in centre-mid. Either way, I was surprised that he didn't break through into our first team somewhere. I thought he was a class act. |
There was a wonderful piece on Andy Gray and the two goals against Man Utd in the last AKUTRs - pointed out that the crowd was so small (lower loft half empty on the footage) because it was a tube strike night. |  | | |

Does anyone remember the young Aussie lad Mcdermott ?
scored a screamer I think it was at home to Norwich could be wrong but he looked brilliant and I was gutted he went to West Brom while we ended up with steve donkey morrow |
I always found that one weird. Came in, played well, scored a couple, got bombed out to West Brom for £50k, never amounted to anything. | | | |

Paul Wright - scored a brace in a sunny season-opener against Palace.
He or his partner did not settle in London. Went on to enjoy a decent if journeyman career back north of the border. |  | | |

A larger, more muscular, Gallic version of Matthew "made of glass" Rose!
Agree, looked a cut above us at that point.
Ryan Nelson is a great shout. Top bloke who gave everything whilst his body was falling apart. |  | | |

I know he only played 5 times but Dusko Tosic always stands out for me. 5 great performances at the time that a little bit of optimism had started to creep in at the beginning of Warnock taking charge. We'd just started to look a little bit like a team again after a shocking season and we all know what happened the following season |
I remember the general consensus on here that it was "typical Warnock jobs for the boys" stuff when Tosic wasn't retained and we signed Hill, who was old injured and had been poor against us for Palace, instead. Did Hill ever amount to much? | | | |

Paul Walsh. He was on loan around the time I started going to QPR and I took a shine to him. I was confused and heart-broken when he buggered off, not really understanding the idea that he wasn't actually a QPR player. |  | | |

Jermaine darlington. Was immense every time I saw him play. I didn't get to that many games! |  | | |

Ben Askar and Sampsa Timoska recently, rated both of them, probably wrong. |
I don't remember Ben Askar but TImoska looked a class act. I thought it a shame that he didn't stay longer.
Danny Cullip is one I remember fondly. A scary no-nonsense defender who was instrumental in keeping us up, as I recall.
Andros Townsend virtually played our opposition on his own at times.

Had a bit of a soft spot for Djibril Cisse. |  | | |

Know he was here a while but he didn't play much. I loved Samba Diakite. During his loan spell, I thought he was awesome not just games against arsenal, spurs, swansea at home but I thought he did a fantastic job covering the back 4 when we went down to 10 men against man u. Would love to know why things didn't work out and he didn't kick on from there when he signed permanently.
Richard Johnson I always liked. Thought he made a big difference when he replaced steve palmer (finally!) Ben askar has been mentioned, thought he was quality. Also liked Taiwo. | | | |

Good thread Paul.
Yeah, Kennedy was good.
Foley, who we had on loan from Watford at a dire time, wasn't much cop, but got some important goals for us. Liked him.
Crouchie! |  |

Sammy Lee was so much better than anything we had at the time, Mark Falco, Steve Hodge, Tilson , Bonnet, Gray, Ben Askar, Taino, Reid, Francis, Idiakez but the biggest impact for short term success must be Djibril Cisse. | | | |

Granero. Was amazed we got him and then it seemed only half of him turned up. If he'd settled he'd have been a fan favourite I don't doubt it.
Had a soft spot for Mauro Milanese too. No idea why. |  |

Yeah that and the Derry signing really the ultimate lesson in never pre-judging any signing. Apart from Bob Malcolm, we all knew he'd be shįt
Since I love full backs so much, Stephen Kelly looked a bit handy in that short spell in the playoff year |  |

I always thought it was weird seeing him in a QPR shirt , didn't he score against Chelsea in the 2-2 when Andy Townsend smashed in one from 30 yards ?
also did anyone else expect big things from Scott Donnelly , I thought he had a bit of the Lee trundles about him | |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Phil Nutt......I was there when he he came on to score ageinst a physical Derby, Dave Thomas had a blinder but I will always remember the look on Nutts face after he scored. | | | |

I'm pretty sure that was my first game actually, although my memory's pretty bad for these things. I don't think he scored in that game though.
Edit: I thought he had a bit of the Lee trundles about him
Sounds nasty! [Post edited 12 Apr 2017 14:28]

I, too, was at that game and went nuts at his goal. Peter Eastoe I thought was going to be a good signing. Don Rogers, Leighton James and Tony Currie were all good players in their prime; shame their prime wasn't with us although Currie still had it. |  | | |
