marsh or bowles.........who's the greatest eve'r'!!!!

[qprtilidie63]

13 goals in one european season (still a record for a british player i think), scored in 8 consequative seasons for rangers, the great brian clough saw fit to buy him, without doubt the best we`ve ever had and i feel privilaged to have watched him at his peak1

saw them both from beginning to end..
marsh was better all round player
two footed, good in the air, physical
and dont forget he played with average players and won games on his own
the 1966/67 season was the rodney marsh show..
stan had better players alongside him
wonderful talents both though

Undoubtedly has to be Stan the man. saw both play, and Marsh was a real showman that could do things with a ball some players would never be able to do, and was the catalyst for Rs to become the club we are, especially his performance in the League cup Final in 67. But Stan's craft vision and ability was magnificent and truly the better team player, and the majority of it at the very highest level.
But for me QPRs greatest & best all round player was a Mr Gerry Francis truly fantastic!

years ago Bowles mentioned this ,and said how often did Marsh turn it on away from home .

agree Stan was the better team player but for sheer entertainment Rodney was the man, did a one man show at Charlton to turn 2-0 down into a 3-2 victory, memories that will last a lifetime

Rodneeee!was the better player.
I sometimes wonder would Bowles have been a better player now with the training,diets and no drinking regimes or would this have caused him to lose the magic.

He simply wouldn't have made it as a professional footballer. Would have been weeded out long before getting near Man City's first team.

LeTissier mentioned something similar the other day on Soccer Saturday. He couldn't do what the youth players are now asked to go through.

No brainer for me. Stan the Man by a country mile. Not only was he the greatest Rangers player to live but the greatest english player to live too! Huzzar!!

[80sCasual]

Stanley's the one for me, he's who i grew up watching. Although all i have seen is clips of Rodnee (being too young for him) so i can't really give a real opinion apart from who i saw.

[Gerryhatrick]

Our Rodney gets my vote. He scored on average every other game, and made the game look easy. He was an entertainer, and a very clever intelligent player who could read the game well.

Not sure either were the greatest ever, but Marsh was the more entertaining and idolised in his day.

QPR = Rodney Marsh.....why are we debating it ? its so obvious that the younger generation wont accept that !!
