Chaz - Is he the best QPR striker you have seen?

[72bus]

clive allen for me , never saw a lot of les as i stopped going to football for over 10 years

Allen was the most clinical striker we have had at the club, give him a chance he put it away and was a far better footballer than many gave him credit for. Don Givens was a fantastic striker but more of a team player and Sir Les could pick the ball up in his own half and end up scoring. Charlie is probably our best out and out finisher since Allen but not in the same league as Sir Les was, yet ! Allen though is the most natural goal scorer we have ever produced.

Being a young 29 I got to say I think Charlie's my favourite QPR striker and the best I have seen. Such a natural talent who just knows how to finish and put the ball in the back of the net. Its been a pleasure having him at Loftus Road

It got me thinking is he the best striker I have seen down Loftus Road since I started supporting the club 25 + years ago. It was a toss up between him and Ferdinand for me personally but I think i'd give the nod to chaz.

I also really rated Gallen, loved the bloke and gutted for him when that injury struck so early in his career.

Who do you guys rate as the best striker you have seen down Loftus Road since you started supporting us and how highly do you rate charlie?

I reckon my top 5 would be -

1, Austin,
2, Ferdinand
3, Gallen
4, Furlong
5, Remy - Controversial as was with a short time but he was different gravy. If he had stayed with us he'd be near the top.

I'm a few years older at 33 but my top 5 would probably be the same as yours although not in that order. Sir Les is still top for me with Chaz in at 2nd. Gotta give a special mention to Andy Thompson too for the 2001/02, of course he is nowhere near the quality of the 5 mentioned above but his 21 goals that season was an incredible feat and was massively important to us at the time!

How comes no-one mentioned Mike Sheron?

Ok, I'll get my coat......

Interested to see people putting austin above ferdinand. I thought Les had everything.

Les
Austin
Furlong
Gallen
Remy

I think that any judgement on CA or LF is that LF was in a very good side and CA has been in a so so side I think that it's a hard call both very good finishers with LF being quicker and pos a stronger shot but CA may edge the natural goal scorer bit it would have been good to CA with some real quality around him

[Robsondinho]

I'm 31 and for me Sir Les is head and shoulders the best striker I have seen at the Rangers. Pace, Power, his heading ability was unreal also.

I loved Les and Kevin Gallen, Roy Wegerle & Heidur Helguson. Charlie is one of the best in England today and well underrated.

Charlie is really good at reading the game, that's why he scores often.

[Ginger Ninja]

Good shout that tbf. Was he the last player to bag 20 goals in a season for us (before Austin of course)?

Certainly was, that's why I included him too. Was great for us during a really painfully shite time.

[TBLOCKRANGER]

Sir Les, he made big teams quake with fear, simply unplayable at times. Every team in England would have met his price tag.

I'm 31 and for me Sir Les is head and shoulders the best striker I have seen at the Rangers. Pace, Power, his heading ability was unreal also.

His aerial ability was amazing!!
He seemed to hang in the air for ages when he went up.
When Les got the ball you knew something could happen.

Feel the same way about Chaz though now, if he gets the oppurtunity to have the goal in sight!!

[Kurt Bakholt]

I think it beggars belief that "I am the f##kin man" Johnny Spencer hasn't been mentioned. For a spell in 96/97 I felt confident he'd score everytime he played, and his hat-trick v Barnsley was unforgettable, especially the goal from the tightest of angles at the school end for the winner. Port Vale 4-4 too.
