my long argument that i have with people that it wasnt rodney matrsh stan bowles phil parkes paul parker les ferdinand etc that have made qpr great
it was really all about directors and managers
a little powerhouse of energy a man that sold two post office vans ever week a man who bought fish shops,a man who kept his most secret thoughts to himself including the fact he couldnt read or right
this man joined the directors of fulham there he saw the great rodney marsh
this man who may not have had any education but he had a fantastic sense of perception,yes he made qpr he built brand new stands,his desire knew no bounds
he got such a thrill from the loftus road crowds,
he watched carlise play qpr and picked out the great stanley bowles,realising his style was so much like rodney he now knew he could do the impossible he could sell rodney marsh for 200 000
and then buy bowles for 110 000 and don givens for 40 000 so he ends up with two younger players and 50 thousand pounds in profit
one of the saddest things about my life is that i never met jim i would so much like to thank him for what he created
my first game was in 59-60 season i was far to young to really understand what was going on
but by 1964 i realised that qpr would probabley never get out of the lower two divisions,brentford seemed so much more glamourus than us they had a ground that could hold 39 000 and up against our 25 000 ground they just looked to have a better future than us
but cometh the great man and we sign jim langley ,keith sanderson,les allen rodney marsh ian watson etc and all of a suddden the locals that supported brentford started to look over in our direction
