the chelsea and the brentford friendlies mentioned were about the best for me as well. used to enjoy the aldershot away games as well. atalanta not too long ago, at home. and tottenham home pre season friendly, about 20/25 years ago, every one sitting in that sun got burnt to a cinder.
rodney dummied one of the rangers players, kai johansen, who was coming in with a slide tackle, but caught rodney in the legs. rodney was on the floor kicking him, but got fed up with the kicking, got up threw a few punches. one of the rangers players come running over to intervene, bobby watson, but rodney head butted him.....game over for rodney.
my first 2 friendlies against qpr were both scottish teams, plenty of action, plenty of goals. 1968/69....qpr 6-3 arbroath
1969/70.....qpr 3-3 glasgow rangers, marsh got sent off.
i went to a pre season friendly round about this era, a home game against leicester, got to the ground only to be told it was postponed. don't think it ever got under way later either. think i even bought a programme for this as well, i'll have to dig it out.
