Your best and worst ever QPR moment witnessed as a fan and as an armchair fan !! 12:19 - Jan 5 with 4410 viewsnumptydumpty

Am sure, many of us have moments that will stick with us for a very long time, in that Rangers did something quite incredible that we witnessed in person or on TV. Doesn't need to be a wonder goal. Could be a sending off, a moment of madness, an emotional response, something overheard from players. And likewise for worst ever moment.

I wasn't unfortunately well enough to watch the game at Wembley for the Zamora moment and quite a few stand out moments over the years when wasn't unfortunately in attendance. Finances and working away i only saw about two or three games in person during the Adel Season, not old enough for Stan.

Think my best moment for me was Kenny Samson hitting an absolute rocket into the bottom corner of the net. Was in East Paddock drenched and it was hard to see properly in those days on the terraces, particularly if you weren't 6 foot 3. But was great game, fabulous atmosphere, singing all game, a lot of who the frickin hell are you to the Arsenal fans and the like. And we were under a lot of pressure. The ball was laid off to Sansom in second half, I think by Sinton , and time stood still when Kenny reached the ball and struck it with arrow like accuracy, was one of those net rippling moments. Beauty personified !!

It was like an explosion of chaos, for minutes afterwards. I totally lost my nut that day. Haven't had a moment like that since.

Nearest in recent seasons was Jummy Dunne's swerving thunderbolt volley into the top corner for a 90th minute winner, but because am older, am bit more restrained in my reactions !!

It's hard for me to pin down worst ever moments but I unfortunately was actually going to most home games when we had Ainsworth in charge, as I felt we had zero chance of winning and zero chance of seeing any quality football from Rangers, who were more like a Sunday league team all this time. Most home games over the years I have felt, we had decent chances of winning against most teams at home, but that period was brutal !!

My best moment watching on the box was Mackie putting us two one up at City in the Aguerooo game and we had ten men at that point also. My mates boss was with us at the time, not a football fan, he had zero idea, why two so called adult professional men were wetting themselves something chronic and rolling around the floor giggling in fits just because a man kicked a ball between two sticks !!

Worst moment witnessed on TV. It's hazy for me as was in middle of exams at the time, so again wasn't at the game, but unfortunately that Milk Cup Final against Oxford.

We had done brilliantly to knock out Chelsea and Liverpool and only had lowly Oxford in between us and glory. I was certain that finally Rangers would get some silverware. Great wet lettuce. Never was a phrase more apt. The whole 90 minutes of moments for me was seriously depressing, like the players had been drugged or there was some kind of gambling scam going on. Was awful.

Has anyone mentioned the 4 - 4 away at Pirt Vale.

Anyone on here there, that fateful day.

Just remember the game being on ITV for some incredibly bizarre reason.

Live games on Terrestial TV channels in days gone by were generally always from the top division so god knows why this game was on the box.

Was so p*ssed off 4 - nil at half time to fricking Port Vale. What a comeback considering the first half performance was beyond abysmal.

I think when Impey got the second, i thought it could happen !!!

Worst by some distance was sitting in front of the tackle at Fulham and the outcome which broke Martyn Busbys leg.

To this day when sitting watching Rangers I still have some kind of tic where I instinctively lift my leg off the floor when I see a sliding impact tackle coming in on one of ours.

Too many best moments but BZ play off winner and Clive Allen’s winner in the FA cup semi final spring to mind.


I was there as well, it was the worst football moment, ever.
Poor Martin, never recovered, from that, behind tackle, by PW. Although Martin did play again, he was never the same again.
My best moment, was when we won the league cup, 1967, at Wembley.

Best live, either Leeds 76, Oldham play off semi, SW away or BZ Day.
Worse, too many to remember but last game of the season we got relegated to the third tier, loosing 3–0 at home to Stockport (?), nothing at all from the team, young Cochrane getting sent off not long after coming on as sub!


Agree about Leeds (1976) and the Oldham play-off semi- was at both and the atmosphere was wonderful. Coming back from 0-2 down against Liverpool (when they were killing time before getting on the bus for home) to win 3-2 was wonderful, too. It was Jamie Mackie's Aguero moment.
