    Who was that striker? Legs like tree trunks, couldn't run. Rob something. I think he scored a few goals.

    I would be interested in your team saint but am always refreshed by your positivity so don't imagine we will see it. I have recently noticed your dislike of Rednapp. Who would you have instead?

    Queens Park Rangers: Ranking the Worst QPR Strikers of the Last 20 Years

    According to this list, the Pelican.

    please log in to view this image


    1. Alessandro Pellicori
    Years at QPR: 2009-2011
    Games Played: 10
    Goals Scored: 1
    Worst Attribute: Football.
    Memorable Moment: Getting banned for match fixing.

    You can dismiss that goal right away. It was in a 5-0 thrashing at Exeter City in the League Cup and so doesn't count. No offense to Exeter City or the League Cup, of course. But in each of his nine other games, he was worse than rubbish.
    Flavio Briatore was trying to turn QPR into an all-Italian side, and all that seemed to matter was the nationality not whether a man could play football or not. Pellicori was the worst of the lot and was swiftly sent back to Italy—first on loan and eventually permanently in 2011.
    As it turns out, even the police thought his performances were criminal, arresting him for match fixing in 2012 and banning him for three years.
    Let's hope he changes careers by 2015.

    Other honourable mentions:-

    9. Marc Nygaard
    Years at QPR: 2005-2008
    Games Played: 72
    Goals Scored: 14
    Worst Attribute: Looking like Bambi on ice whenever the football came toward him.
    Memorable Moment: This.

    The Danes are good at football, with two exceptions: Nicklas Bendtner and Marc Nygaard. Fortunately, QPR fans have only had to witness the latter at their club, but it wasn't pretty nevertheless. Although he scored nine goals in his first season, the ensuing two years were incredibly barren.

    One of his roles was to hold the ball up for Dexter Blackstock as they tried to form a partnership. The only issue was that he could barely hold himself up. Tall, gangly, and clumsy. Not exactly the graceful forward everybody aspires to be.

    8. Greg Goodridge
    Years at QPR: 1995-1996
    Games Played: 11
    Goals Scored: 1
    Worst Attribute: Forgetting to take the ball with him whenever he sped away.
    Memorable Moment: Probably that one goal.

    If you think QPR's 21 goals in the league this season is bad, Goodridge scored just 21 in the league during his entire career. He only appearing as a substitute when at QPR, with all 11 appearances coming off the bench.
    He was renowned for not really knowing where the ball was, so managing to find the net against Sheffield Wednesday was impressive. Especially as he only came on six minutes before.
    But in fairness, for having one of the lowest totals for minutes on the pitch of all the candidates, the fact he scored at all was even more of a feat.

    7. Leon Clarke
    Years at QPR: 2010-2011
    Games Played: 14
    Goals Scored: 0
    Worst Attribute: Finding just one club to stay at for more than a year.
    Memorable Moment: The goal he scored for Preston after leaving QPR.

    He has played for 14 different clubs, some of them on more than one occasion, and obviously has a problem settling and scoring. Therefore, Queens Park Rangers should have known better than to sign Leon Clarke, as he had already played a game for them while on loan in 2006.
    But warnings were not heeded, and he headed to Loftus Road for one whole season (that's a long time in Leon-land), where he scored no goals. Standard practice really, seeing as he only reached double figures at three clubs.

    6. Dean Sturridge
    Years at QPR: 2005-2006
    Games Played: 11
    Goals Scored: 0
    Worst Attribute: Not being able to play football below the M6.
    Memorable Moment: Playing away at Derby. The only game where he looked comfortable.

    The 2005/06 season was a bad one for Rangers' striking prowess, with the exception of Gallen and Furlong. Rangers had Stefan Moore, Marc Nygaard, Leon Clarke and Dean Sturridge all on the squad.
    Sturridge's inability to play anywhere other than in the middle of England was blatant to see, but then again, he was a bit on the mature side by the time he signed for QPR. I'm not sure what Kidderminster Harriers saw that convinced them to take him off QPR's hands.

    5. Eric Sabin
    Years at QPR: 2003-2004
    Games Played: 16
    Goals Scored: 1
    Worst Attribute: His goal per game ratio.
    Memorable Moment: Scoring the last-minute winner against powerhouses of football, Grimsby Town.

    Eric Sabin is an international footballer who has won the French National League twice and scored for five different English-based teams. Pretty good signing, right?
    Wrong.
    Firstly, he played for Martinique. Which is an island and has a football team. Just not a very good one, so the term "international" is used loosely here. The French National League is actually the third division, and he only scored once for QPR—one of the five English teams he played for.
    Still, Nimes Olympique seem to like him. They've signed him three times.

    4. Daniel Nardiello
    Years at QPR: 2007-2008
    Games Played: 8
    Goals Scored: 0
    Worst Attribute: Pretending to be a Man United prodigy.

    Memorable Moment: Being one of two players offered in a swap deal (plus cash) for Kaspars Gorkss.

    Another "international." But this time it is for Wales, so I am a little more justified using that term, but even Francis Jeffers got one game for his home country. And he wasn't very good either.
    The reason Danny Nardiello is so far down on this list is because he was supposed to be good when he was younger. Playing alongside potential starts like Phil Bardsley, Chris Eagles, and erm, Luke Chadwick, Nardiello was supposed to be the next big thing out of the United youth system.
    But he wasn't. He was rubbish and couldn't hit a barn door. However, he does seem to be able to score for Barnsley, strangely.


    3. Mark Hateley
    Years at QPR: 1995-1997
    Games Played: 40
    Goals Scored: 6
    Worst Attribute: His attitude.
    Memorable Moment: Never scoring a winning goal when at QPR.

    "But he scored six," I hear you cry. "Why is he so low on this list?"
    Well, because his attitude stunk. Think of Joey Barton's un-likability, mixed with Djibril Cisse's laziness and Rob Hulse's goal-scoring record, and you have Mark Hateley in 1995.
    He was was very good for the Rangers in Scotland but rubbish for the Rangers in London. He looked like he didn't want to be there, and to be honest, the fans didn't want him either. And the £1.5 million transfer fee didn't help matters.

    2. Brett Angell
    Years at QPR: 2002-2003
    Games Played: 13
    Goals Scored: 0
    Worst Attribute: He played like he was much older than 34.
    Memorable Moment: None.

    Brett Angell wasn't the worst striker throughout his career, but every time he tried to step up a level, Angell would fall back down to earth with a catastrophic bump. Everton and Sunderland fans know what I'm talking about.
    He ended up working at Tesco after leaving QPR. Let's just hope he was better at scanning than shooting.

    Do you mean Rob Steiner? I think we've had far worse than him.

    Apart from the previously mentioned Sabin, Sammy Koejoe and Carl Leaburn immediately come to mind.

    BTW, I can't agree with Sammy Lee from the OP.

    Yes after the season finished I made my feelings clear on Harold as he was and is a poor coach in the modern game ... When we kick off I will however support him 100 % as that's our role as QPR fans that's want we should all do ... I hate those who call for change before its time it's clear the game has gone to pot and swap every five minutes ... The stable clubs are ones that find a good fit and keep it
    I would today look to get a solid management team in before we just throw money in
    I would therefore in a dream situation have Bircham and Holloway overseen by directors Gerry Francis and El Tel

    If I went foreign then Deschamps

    The worse players at QPR has to be for the damage they did to our image of football Joey Barton and Vinne Jones both of which can't really play the game

    I suppose it's because he was so bad he technically didn't play for us, so he doesn't count! Let's hope he goes on loan to one our promotion rivals should we get our act together and win games.... ;-)
