None of you guy's have probably heard of him,but he was signed by QPR in 1954 (3 years after I started to support the R's) from Methley Utd and scored 62 in 201 games.He changed his name from Longbottom to Short ar*e (Langley really) and at 78 still follows the R's results from his home in Scarborough.

Remember him well - used to live on the Peabody Estate North Kensington.
Not a great player but one that gave 110%. -
Aurther Longbottom lived near little wormwood scrubs while he played for rangers, when as kids we used to see him walking with his missus thru the park, used to ahem make sure our football got kicked his way.They seek him here.................Comment

If you're the real BB I remember you well too.You'd be just a year younger than Arthur and joined the R's from Bournemouth 5 years after Arthur joined us.You scored a remarkable 161 in 258 for the R's and got the winner for Bounemouth,I believe,against Man Utd in the FA Cup.You also won me,as a youngster,about £20 on the way back from Bounemouth on the supporters coach,for scoring the first goal for QPR against your old club at Dean Court???
