My first QPR game. Away in SW6. Stan was the first R’s player I noticed. His performance that day mesmerised me. He had style, swagger, and the skills to pay the (bookmaker’s) bills. Every time he got the ball (I was in the Shed) the home crowd booed and called him every cuss under the sun - he didn’t give a fk. He was part footballer. Part rock star. Even before the first half finished he was my idol. The anti-hero. There were 11 (12?) QPR players on the pitch that day and I love ‘em and could (probably) name ‘em all but if there was no Stan there may have been no QPR for me. Stan was, is, and will always be the man 🙏🏼

Does anyway have any memories of the game? There’s no footage of it. I remember it being a proper humdinger ding-dong London derby. 3-3. Stan definitely scored. My (unreliable) memory tells me in spectacular fashion from outside the box.

Fifty years later and just another uneventful QPR day. Here’s to the next 50.

Yooo RRRsss!!! 💙🤍💙

remember the game well......was on the north stand terrace for that one, pretty nasty to.
the shed give stan a lot of abuse that day, mainly about his wife and girlfriend.
stan replied on the pitch though in typical stan fashion, loved the man.

outside was pretty hairy as well, attacked with a knife , not stabbed, and clumped a couple of times at a 28 bus stop in north end road.....all part and parcel of the 70's.

Poll: how many games this season....home/away.

Me too. Stood in the Shed with Dad and a friend of his. Fantastic memories of that day.

Yes, I was there. Wasn't that when Stan shaped to shoot with his left, then switched to his right, and scored?

I remember the game well and think Stan scored his second in the last minute to make it 3-3.

Was that the game when that thug Droy attempted to cut Stan two with one of the. worst tackles I've ever seen?
