So all that Bristol City nostalgia, and talk about how terrified we used to be of Scott Murray, got me thinking last week. Who are the players we feared playing/loathed seeing in those three years in the Second Division and then immediately forgot all about once we were promoted.
Remember we used to have real problems with Martin Bullock and ben Burgess, hated Leon Knight and Wayne Andrews.
Thinking of doing a piece for AKUTRs on it so any others greatly appreciated... |  | | |  |

QPR fan as well. Scored against us for three, maybe four different clubs. | | | |

David Friio from Plymouth! An excellent French midfielder, buried us in the title deciding game at Home Park, but not sure he ever stepped up to the Championship too well.
Keep up the good word Norf, having turned 30 in July I am finding myself wistfully turning back to QPR in my teenage years, and that 2001 - 2004 period was a very intense time for my 12-15 year old self supporting QPR. I have just logged back into my account for the first time in goodness knows how long to contribute to this thread!
In fact the whole run in of that 2003-04 season was intense. I can remember so many games from that period like it only occurred in recent years. That Easter Monday game at Barnsley! Sheesh... |  | | |

Andy Rammell of Wycombe I seem to recall we always found a bit of a handful. |  |

Also, although I didn't attend said game, I know full well the story and how it came into QPR legend of the time, so can I also make a nomination for the deckchair at Hartlepool who that 'Pool fan managed to get tackled by in that half time competition they had...?
Technically not a QPR foe but surely worthy of a mention... | | | |

Kerry Mayo of Brighton I remember as a horrible little gobshite. Ginger as well. | |

Last one then I must get back to work...
Forget about individuals...
Northampton-bloody-Town.
They were with us in that league in 01/02 and were rubbish, and again in 02/03 and got relegated by absolutely miles, yet we still never actually managed to beat them. 2 home defeats and 2 away draws if I remember right.
And for a teenager living in Wellingborough (about 10 miles from Northampton) that was bloomin' rubbish  | | | |

Always loathed Darius Henderson, who it felt like we played every other week in that period, and who was unfailingly irritating and dirty every time.
Followed us up into the Championship too, and is therefore not strictly eligible for this, meaning he's still fking irritating me now. |  | | |

Friio is a great shout. Forgotten all about him having considered him something of a God for three years. | | | |

Was quite young but ones that come to mind are Nathan Ellington, David Eyres and Andy Legg with his massive long throw. | | | |

I remember several Tranmere Rovers players seemed to love playing against us. In particular Jason Koumas and Stuart Barlow spring to mind.
*Edit - I was going to mention also Friio [Post edited 19 Aug 2019 15:20]

Martin Rowlands, until we had the good sense to buy him. Was Stephen Hunt the evil ferret in that team?
Dave Kitson. |  | | |

From that era several shift workers at a certain car plant in Ellesmere Port. The names elude me. [Post edited 19 Aug 2019 15:31]

Robert Earnshaw for me aswell scored a hatrick against us in I think a 4-0 tonking then taking my late Uncle home we got stuck in huge traffic.
Frank Talia always seem to do well in goal for Wycombe. |  |

Whoever took free kicks for Southend. Fortunately don't remember his name. | | | |

Little black fella, I think his first name was Jermaine. He always played well against us.
This next one isn’t a player, but a referee. Prosser the tosser. Can’t remember his first name.
He refereed our home 4-3 game vs Wycombe. He sent two of theirs off, and we still booed him at the end. [Post edited 19 Aug 2019 16:05]

Stoke
Cardiff
Bristol city
All grudge games when we went down and all of them had there fair share of aggro attached
Fcuking hated Crewe after that game so I’ll add
Dario gradi
And Ron Noades for trying to block the shittu deal
Oh and Christian Roberts and his handmade tattoos
By and large I secretly loved our time in league one |  |
| 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

No secret about it, it was a fantastic time to be a QPR fan. | | | |

Parkin is a good shout, always stuck with me how he did well against us.
Not quite that timeframe but Jon Stead is another one that seemed to love playing us, I feel like I've seen him score against QPR every time we play a team he's in, including a pearler for Bristol City?
For Plymouth, I always remember Paul Wotton and although he came a bit later, Gary Sawyer. The latter because he came from Bideford Town where I was living around 2003, so was always talked about by the lads there.
Also used to sign *Tommy Mooney for us on that version of Championship Manager, he was always a free transfer and banged them in.

I went to secondary school with Sam Parkin and played in the school football team with him. He was head and shoulders above anyone in our team and anyone we played against. Could win a game single handedly. Shows how good you have to be to play at the very top considering he never really played much above league 1 level. | | | |
