Holloway's wonderful QPR team seals promotion at Hillsborough - history Monday, 17th Mar 2014 22:44 by Clive Whittingham With QPR heading up to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, the choice of picking this week's memorable match wasn't the most taxing one LFW has ever faced. Recent MeetingsQueens Park Rangers 2 Sheffield Wednesday 1, Saturday August 3, 2014, Championship Things didn’t look good for QPR 20 minutes into the first meeting between these sides this season, which came on the opening day of the campaign at Loftus Road. After such a colossal turnover in personnel during the summer, and a Premier League season that brought just four paltry wins, nobody knew quite what to expect of the new look Rangers back in the second tier and when Wednesday’s debutant Albanian striker Atdhe Nuhiu lashed in from the edge of the box. The visitors had two very decent shouts for a penalty waved away by referee Scott Mathieson either side of half time as well but ultimately two quick fire first half goals won the points for Harry Redknapp’s side. Nedum Onuoha tapped home after a corner broke to him at the far post, then Andy Johnson volleyed in a fine second after keeper Chris Kirkland had saved an initial effort.

Queens Park Rangers 1 Sheffield Wednesday 1, Saturday April 3, 2010, Championship QPR were in something of a mess the last time these sides met at Loftus Road back in April 2010. A promising start to the season under Jim Magilton had given way to a winter of complete chaos following his sacking. Brief spells in charge for first Paul Hart and then Mick Harford had seen Rangers drift from play off contenders into the relegation battle. Under fire owner Flavio Briatore had decided to take a back and seat and hand the day to day running of the club to Amit Bhatia and Neil Warnock had been poached from fellow financially crippled Crystal Palace. That arrested the side slightly, a run of seven defeats and two draws giving way to two consecutive wins following Warnock’s arrival but the R’s then found themselves drawing too many matches — this was thier fifth tie in six matches — which kept them dangerously close to the relegation places. It could easily have been a win — Ale Faurlin fired in his first goal for the club midway through the first half — but a dire second half saw Wednesday fight back and equalise through Tom Soares. A subsequent Easter mauling at Leicester had alarm bells ringing but Rangers subsequently won at Palace which meant late season victories over Barnsley and Watford cemented their place in the Championship. A year later, Warnock had them promoted as champions. Wednesday meanwhile were relegated on the final day when they failed to beat Palace at home, the side immediately above them.

Rangers had been in spectacular form leading up to the match, playing sumptuous football to sweep aside Barnsley (5-2) before embarking on a memorable seven day period where they beat Preston, Reading and Derby scoring 12 goals in the process — four in each. This was a much less fluent performance and although Arsenal loanee Jay Simpson finished across Lee Grant to give the visitors an early lead, Wednesday equalised immediately through Jermaine Johnson and were the better team for long periods. With the game apparently set for a draw, Rangers found a late winner thanks to an emphatic header from Latvian centre back Kaspars Gorkss who powered home a late Ale Faurlin corner in front of the travelling faithful behind the goal. Sadly a damaging defeat at Doncaster Rovers followed a week later and the season collapsed with subsequent thrashings by Watford and Middlesbrough leading to Magilton leaving the club under a cloud of controversy after an alleged dressing room attack on midfielder Akos Buzsaky.

Memorable MatchSheffield Wednesday 1 Queens Park Rangers 3, Saturday May 8, 2004, Second Division In 2001, QPR were at one of the lowest points in their entire history. The 2000/01 relegation season was a miserable one in which the R’s conceded five goals in three separate away games at Sheff Wed, Wimbledon and Preston. Gerry Francis left halfway through to be replaced by Ian Holloway but come May QPR had been relegated, were in administration, and had just eight professionals on their books of which two — Richard Langley and Clarke Carlisle — were already ruled out for the whole of the following season with cruciate knee ligament ruptures picked up within ten minutes of each other in a home game against Fulham. When your luck’s out… Thankfully these were the days before transfer embargos applied to clubs in admin, so despite a chronic lack of funds Holloway was able to piece together some semblance of first team. Pre-season friendlies in 2001 saw the likes of Aziz Ben-Askar, Terrell Forbes and Alex Bonnot introduced to each other in the dressing room before matches. Some decisions Holloway got wrong — signings like Dave McEwen, Leroy Griffiths and Hamid Barr didn’t work out while players he spurned like Mamady Sidibe and Martin Bullock went elsewhere and excelled — but overall it was a miracle just to get QPR to the starting line that season. More importantly, Holloway restored a feel-good factor to Loftus Road almost immediately, a 3-1 pre-season friendly victory over Chelsea’s lavishly furnished first team kick started things in that respect. Over the coming three years Rangers built back into a formidable, committed team to be proud of. Holloway staffed up well, bringing in Kenny Jackett as an assistant manager from Watford and picking off a number of his former Vicarage Road charges to form the backbone of the team — Steve Palmer and goalkeeper Chris Day were particularly influential. Newly recruited Mel Johnson led a scouting operation that Rangers hadn’t seen the likes of since Bobby Gould’s time with the club, and have never once got close to replicating since — Danny Shittu, Martin Rowlands, Lee Cook and others were snaffled for a pittance. And Holloway rarely passed up the opportunity to sign a QPR player for his team — Marc Bircham, Cook and Kevin Gallen all came in. There was a mixture of experienced old pros like Paul Furlong, Richard Edghill and Gareth Ainsworth, and younger, up and coming talent like Shittu, Rowlands and Forbes. Cracks were papered over in the loan market — a Thursday afternoon injury to Day wasn’t a problem with Johnson on the payroll and Lee Camp was collected by the team coach a day later on the way up to Hartlepool. There was plenty of rough with the smooth, and Holloway was lucky to hold onto his job through to the end of the 2002/03 season when Rangers were thrashed at Notts County and by Cardiff, and drew 0-0 at nine man Luton as well as being knocked out of the FA Cup, infamously, by Vauxhall Motors. But having kept faith with their man, the makeshift board at Rangers was rewarded by a play off final appearance that term and then, when defeat by Cardiff in Cardiff condemned Rangers to a third year in the Second Division, a concerted promotion push in 2003/04. Rangers lost just seven out of 46 games that year, and remained unbeaten at home through 23 matches which included 16 victories. But as the season wore on they lost Clarke Carlisle to personal problems, Danny Shittu to a ruptured cruciate ligament and Chris Day to an unfortunate incident where physio Prav Mathema and Day tried to do a DIY job on a boil on his shin. Plymouth took advantage, beating Rangers 2-0 at Home Park with two games left to play sealing the league title. That left the R’s locked in a tense battle for second with Bristol City who had strung together an extraordinary 11 consecutive wins through January and February to surge into contention. Thankfully, their captain Brian Tinnion chose that moment to give an ill-advised interview saying City had Plymouth and QPR running scared and could have the title “all over bar the shouting” before Easter. They promptly lost five and drew one of the next seven, and Tinnion’s words have gone down in modern day QPR folklore. Neck and neck going into the penultimate weekend, Rangers went first and sealed a tense 1-0 home win against fellow promotion hopefuls Swindon Town at Loftus Road thanks to an early goal from Player of the Year Martin Rowlands. City played at Barnsley a day later but kept the fight alive with a 1-0 win of their own. And so it all came down to the very final day of the season: QPR away at Sheffield Wednesday, with 7,000 of their faithful massed in the Leppings Lane End of the ground; Bristol City at home to Blackpool, who had nothing to play for and were as good as a gimme. To a man, the QPR players involved that day have all said the same thing — dropping down into the play offs after all that effort would have been a deflation too difficult to cope with. It was shit or bust for Holloway’s men. The Bristolian revved them up with an inspirational pre-match speech about how, as a player, his Bristol Rovers side had held off a similar challenge with six consecutive wins at the end of the season. He asked his players to trust each other, stay cool, stay calm, and go out onto the field to do a job. Wednesday were still in the mood to poop the QPR party. Down in Bristol Christian Roberts, an objectionable tattooed mouth on legs who’d scored against Rangers at Ashton Gate in what felt like a crucial 1-0 City win the month before, scored twice in quick succession midway through the first half to put Danny Wilson’s side in the driving seat. Now a draw was no longer enough for the Super Hoops. Sheffield Wednesday displayed the latest score on the electronic board in the corner of the ground and three sides of Hillsborough cheered Rangers’ misfortune. It seemed needlessly petty, and potentially very damaging to Rangers’ mood and chances. But this was a determined team, full of character and togetherness. They cared about the club and each other and the taunting from the home fans only served to spur them on further. Richard Edghill crossed from the right, Kevin Gallen shielded the ball in the penalty area and then fed it wide to Ainsworth, Ainsworth teed up Furlong at the near post and although he lost his footing the old Birmingham warhorse still had it within him to move the ball on one more, back into the path of Gallen who slammed it past Kevin Pressman for the opening goal.
Half time, half a job done, and the First Division was within touching distance when, 60 seconds after the break, Furlong brought Bircham’s cross down expertly on his chest and then swivelled to convert his sixteenth goal of a wonderful season in the grand manner. Behind the goal 7,000 QPR fans, a good many of them now in tears, and at least a thousand others trying to keep quiet in the home end, could barely contain themselves. Things are rarely easy for QPR though are they? Despite being 2-0 up against a lousy team with nothing to play for they contrived to concede a goal on the hour — Jon Shaw rifling in from the edge of the area when a loose ball broke his way — that halved the deficit and set nerves jangling. But in times of need, the R’s have often been able to rely on an own goal to save their skin. Jamie Pollock’s effort had kept QPR up and condemned his Manchester City team to the drop instead back in 1998 an the club’s first ever promotion into the top flight back in 1968 was sealed in the final minute of the final game of the Second Division campaign when Aston Villa’s Keith Bradley put through his own net at Villa Park. And so Chris Carr, who’d been on trial at Loftus Road earlier in the season only to be released after a reserve game where his performance, according to the handful in attendance, was so bad it had to be seen to be believed, wrote his name into the Rangers history books as well. Martin Rowlands, magnificent all season but only cleared to take up his position on the left wing by a late fitness test, whipped a ball into the near post that Carr got in a complete tangle with and ended up turning into the roof of his own net. Wednesday, and Bristol City, were beaten this time, and once a post-match flare up as pitch invaders from both sides clashed on halfway had cooled down, QPR were left to celebrate their elevation on the pitch, together, as one. Ian Holloway, the man who’d shown such pride and passion in rebuilding a club he’d previously served admirably as a player in happier times, was carried aloft in front of the away end by his adoring players. Maverick winger Gareth Ainsworth said: “I can’t describe it. I’ve had 14 years in the game, I was nearly in tears there at the end. I’ve never had a feeling like it. This club has taken me to their hearts, I’m so pleased the gaffer brought me here. I ran until I dropped today knowing there were ten other lads out there who will run until they drop for me. That’s what this club is about. We’re going to go into that division next season and give it a right good go. We’re a good team, we’ve got some great players here, the fans are fantastic. This club deserves bigger, and we’re going to give it bigger.” Ian Holloway said: “It’s a tremendous feeling. We’ve had such hardship. The place needed sorting out, everybody has worked so hard to come from having seven fit players and no goalies at all, we’ve put something together. From the board down to the fans, we’ve become Queens Park Rangers united. These boys have worked their socks off. I can’t tell you what this means to them. I’m so proud of them. Some of these people will go down in QPR folklore, in fact all of them well. And some of them really deserve to.” Those were the days.

ConnectionsSimon Stainrod >>> QPR 1980-1985 >>> Stoke 1987-1988 Simon Stainrod was the QPR number ten during the club’s revival in the early 1980s, led by manager Terry Venables. He was also one of those rare players who turned out for both Sheffield clubs. Having been born in the Steel City he came through the ranks at Bramall Lane initially, signing professional terms in 1975 and scoring 14 goals in almost 67 appearances through to 1979 when he embarked on a spell on the other side of the Pennines with Oldham Athletic. His time at United didn’t start well — his debut came in a 5-0 defeat at Spurs which sealed the Blades’ relegation to the Second Division. Given that they lost 14 and drew one of their first 16 league matches that season the demotion wasn’t a great surprise. Stainrod scored on his second appearance against Norwich a week later though — that 3-1 win was their first away maximum of the season just five games before the end of the campaign, and only their third win in total. Bizarrely the Blades actually won four and drew one of their last six. Despite forging a good striking partnership with Keith Edwards during the following seasons Stainrod was sold to Oldham for a club record fee of £60,000 in March 1979. His debut for the Latics was somewhat better than his Sheffield United bow as he scored the second goal in a 2-0 home win against Blackburn. He was the top scorer for Oldham in the 1979/80 season with 11 goals but is better remembered by some for his antics in a game against Sheffield Wednesday where his play acting saw the Owls legend Terry Curran sent off and violent clashes on the terrace as a result. Nevertheless, Venables spent £270,000 on him in November 1980. The former QPR midfielder didn’t get much wrong during his managerial reign in W12 and Stainrod proved to be an inspired signing as well, becoming the top scorer and focal point of the attack as the R’s reached the FA Cup final as a Second Division team in the 1981/82 campaign. Stainrod played in every round as Rangers fought through replays with Blackpool and Middlesbrough, then beat Grimsby and Crystal Palace, and finally defeated West Brom 1-0 at Highbury in the semi-final thanks to a goal from Clive Allen at the North Bank end. Stainrod played both the final and the replay against Spurs at Wembley — Rangers were of course eventually beaten 1-0 having drawn the first game 1-1. Prior to the final Stainrod gave a bullish interview in the press about his side’s chances. Transcribed by Steve Russell on Indy R’s, Stainrod said: “Over the last few weeks we’ve proved that we have the players capable of winning the trophy. Some of our performances have been fantastic. We’ve annihilated some teams as we’ve tried for the Cup and promotion double. This is the best footballing side I’ve ever had the privilege of playing for. We combine hard work and determination with skill. As well as myself and Clive Allen, the team has so many other players who can score goals and turn the game on their own. “I’ve always had confidence in my own ability and I know that I’m good enough to play at the top level. Wembley gives me the chance to prove to people I’m right. But I’m not going out there to show the world how good I am. I’ll just be doing my very best to win the game for Queen’s Park Rangers. I want to play a good game for the team. If I get a chance to shine then all well and good. At the end of the day the most important thing is victory. “Many people are surprised to see us at Wembley, but I had a sneaking feeling that we’d reach the final. During all the controversy about the synthetic pitch at Loftus Road and rumours that we wouldn’t be allowed to play an FA Cup-tie at home, I said to the lads that we’d win the cup this year. It’s just the sort of ironic thing that happens in life.” A year later Venables led QPR to promotion and Stainrod made 33 appearances. He found goals a little harder to come by than the previous campaign, despite bagging two in an early 4-1 win at Derby and another a week later against Fulham. He missed nine matches midseason and finished the campaign with nine goals. Stainrod appeared 60 times in the top flight for Rangers, scoring 16 goals in 45 appearances in the first year after promotion. The R’s finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup, but Venables left to manage Barcelona and was replaced by Alan Mullery who turned out to be a disaster for the club. Stainrod scored one of the six goals the R’s managed in a home tie against Partizan Belgrade — actually played at Highbury because of the plastic pitch at Loftus Road — but they were beaten 4-0 in the away leg and went out on away goals. John Byrne arrived from York City after he’d impressed against Rangers in the League Cup and as he struck up a partnership with Gary Bannister, Stainrod was deemed surplus to requirements. In December 1984, shortly after Byrne’s arrival Rangers sold Stainrod for £250,000. Oddly, he moved to Sheffield Wednesday, who he claimed to have supported his whole life despite starting with Sheffield United, scoring freely against the Owls when in hoops, and putting in that less than savoury performance against them back in his Oldham days. The Wednesday fans doubted his credentials, needless to say. He finished his QPR career with 62 goals in 143 starts and two sub appearances. His stay at Hillsborough was short and bitter, lasting just 15 matches before a fall out with manager Howard Wilkinson sent him on his way to Aston Villa for £370,000. Although he scored four times on his debut, in a League Cup tie with Exeter, Stainrod’s time at Villa Park was also unhappy and ended when they were relegated. Villa cashed in by selling him to Second Division Stoke City. His time at the Victoria Ground was not a particularly successful one either as he’d started to suffer with injuries by this stage He then played for Strasbourg and Rouen in France before returning to these shores as player manager of Falkirk where he won the First Division and later Dundee and Ayr — famously scoring a goal directly from the kick off for Falkirk against St Johnstone in the SPL. He had been working as a football agent based in France and was part of the deal that brought Hatem Ben Arfa to Newcastle but had his license suspended by the FA in May last year for failing to provide documents when requested.
