You can not say Zesh Rehman was worse than neil ruddock or vinny jones they were a fat disgrace to the shirt
Zesh Rehman gave it his all in the shirt so you're correct in that he was far more honourable than those two. However, he was without doubt the worst player I ever seen in a QPR shirt, try and all as he might. If there's any disgrace, its the poster who persists in including Tony Thorpe in our worst ever team. Is he having a laugh?
He is disappointing rather than shight, Kerry. Those dark days of 2001 watching sammy koejoe and tony scully make me shudder though!
The job John Gregory did to keep us up the season we lost 5-0 at Southend should never be underestimated. This was the team from a randomly picked match that season Cole, Milanese, Rehman, Stewart, Rose, Cook, Ward, Bircham, Baidoo (Donnelly 79), Nygaard, Jones (Czerkas 46)
They were the games where he played santos midfield , ****tu CB and Furs up front. Our style of football was pretty woeful under ollie it has to be said. Santos was poor , and whenhe scored vs norwich at home and put his finger to his mouth as to silence the crowd did not win him many fans, i hate it when players do that. Lee charles and leroy grith were pretty bad, as were dennis oli and Richard Pacquette. toothless up front with that lot playing.
Anyone remember Gus Caesar's loan spell in the early 90's? He was brought in when we had a load of injured defenders. Wouldn't be surprised if he featured in a few of the previously mentioned worst Arsenal 11's. Would definitely be in my worst Rangers 11. He would have been okay in League One I'm sure, but in the top divison he was terrible. I remember a particualarly bad 3-0 defeat at Wimbledon when Fashanu ran rings around him. It would be interesting to put together a worst QPR 11 comprised entirely of loan players. It may be just me, but we seem to have had a disproportionate number of players in on loan at Rangers who have then proceeded to perform shockingly. Obviously there have been a few exceptions. Lee Cook, Paul Walsh and Kyle Walker spring to mind. Jury out on Taiwo and Diakite but we will see. Pretty clear which list Macheda is on...
Tony scully is being slightly underrated on this board. Anyone remember his volley from outside the area against Oxford away. Three one to Oxford and I think Ray Harfords car got bricked on the way home. Happy days.
Gus Caesar...Im gonna have a nightmare now. Thorpe in isnt fair...compared to domonic Imfookingawful and Garry Thompson. Steve Morrow.......hum...bought from Arsenal by a couple of crap manager we had in Houston (We got a problem.......) and Rioch. Santos. Ruddoch and Jones were only bought for two reasons...reasons which I can feel I can reveal now: Ruddoch was purchased as the management at the time thought that by purchasing a fat git like him, the opposition would tire out running round him and then Vinny Jones would take their legs. Bob Malcolm.......did we really really honestly pay cash for him, or was this our first stint at doing something for comedy relief?
I think Big George is getting a hard time here. I actually thought he was quite good! To be fair to him, the fans were booing him every time he touched the ball in that Norwich match. I agree Tony Scully wasn't the worst player in the world. But have you got your match wrong? I think that was Gavin Peacock's volley.
4-1, Dean Windass hat trick for them, horrible fat ugly individual! A terrible day but Scully's goal was a cracker.
He's at least a cult hero among myself and my Liverpool mate. If you ask him to name the first QPR player that comes to mind (and I mean through history!), I'm 99,9% sure he'll opt for Big Georges Santos. At least he made watching some drab encounters in the lower leagues entertaining, will always be remembererd fondly by me in some weird twisted way. Much thanks to Ollie playing him in every position you can name.
