Players you hated but then loved

[Nodge70]

So a bit like Ernie Howe, but in Ernies case I think the majority of us just wanted to smack him. (Mind you he kept half of the kids in West London in footballs!!!!)

I remember seeing Ern playing in the Athenian League for Hounslow in around 1976. He was useless then too. Lord alone knows why Fulham signed him

I always wanted Nick ward to do well, never hated him i suppose.

As for zesh Rehman, didnt like him as a player but didnt he do some work with youngsters or charity showed he was a nice bloke!

Met him outside club before, he really was an absolute topbloke! just a shame he played like he has his boots on the wrong feet.

Yeah, Ernie Howe's......

Top bloke though, excellent with the whole community stuff and his foundation has done a lot to try and get Asian kids into football. All the best to him.

Wardley

Never liked Carl Leaburn, but those 5 minutes he played for us I completely changed my opinion.

[dangould]

Not keen on holloway as a player loved him as manager
When stan Bowles came I thought he's not a patch on Rodney
Marsh but IMO Bowles was the better player.

Nodge your like proper ancient fella

[Stuieang]

Ray Wilins.....Hated him before came to QPR, then saw just what a bloody superb player he was probably best midfielder seen in a QPR shirt & there was talk of another England call up while with us, then went back to hating him as manager start of our downfall, shoulda given Osborne more of a chance, signed Hately & that EGG Zelic

[maverick69]

Never "hated" him - but I thought that Simon Barker was toilet initially. Turned out to be a cracking player - albeit not quite the same after Reid broke his leg.

Hated Sammy Lee. Did **** all. Loved him when he buggered off.....

[qblockoompah]

Can safely say have done the opposite with Flavio Briatore. Absolutely worshipped the bloke when he bought us out, now I swear he is one person I could comfortably murder! lol

To be fair he probably does alot behind the scenes but I just hate the stuff I read because of him!!

As for a player, I agree with Ramage, he is so pony but I do like the bloke

Rowan Vine for me though, was so good on loan, Now he is awful.

Hated Cerny for replacing Camp as I rated him very highly and he was here when we were pony, but he done fairly well in a bad team

[W4 R]

John Budgie Burridge and anyone we bought from Chelsea

[stainrod10]

Ramage.

Yeah, I hated him once now can't stand him.

[qprted]

well

i suppose mick leach,alan wilkes,paul furlong,....................those were the days........................
