The week i was born QPR beat birmingham 2-1 and rolf harris was number 1 with his song two little boys. how did QPR do and who was number 1 when you were born?
I was born just before the season started - Alice Cooper was Top of the Pops with School's Out as we drew 2-2 at Swindon.
Born in the close season, so I doubt they were doing anything except preparing for another season in Division 3.... As for #1? Roger Miller's "King Of The Road".
I was born the day QPR thumped Norwich 5-0, we finished 10th in the old Division 3 south! and Dean Martin was no1 with Memories are made of this, quite fitting really
On the day I was born (24th june 1967) Procol Halum were number 1 with A whiter shade of Pale. being born in 67 I was destined to follow QPR..........
Tom Jones was number one when I was born with baa baa black sheep Sorry I'm getting confused, something about green grass I do believe
Well Chaps, I was born in1936, 8th.March! and I have been told in them days, pop charts did not exist! And who Rangers wher playing that day or that week I have no idea! But I am sure some bright chap will look all that up and surprise us all? good luck! I think the club should start up a over 75 club for all the fans who remember the good days way back in the 3thd. Div (south) days , when football WAS football? And the players played for the LOVE of the game, not the money. Lets face it what money? they got I think about £10 a week if they were any good! Maybe a little more if they played like Dear RODNNNNNNNNNNNNNNy and Stan the man! enough history for today, school is out! keep the faith! ye all!
It's great to see someone of your age on here making comments James You get a rep just for being on here mate
Rather than being patronising about your age, James, I'll add that in that season, QPR finished third in the Third division south, behind Millwall and Bristol City. It was a good season, and so the chances are we were doing OK. However, we didn't quite do well enough to get promoted..... As for music? The big artists were people like Artie shaw, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and of course Hope and Crosby, so 1938 was far from a barren year where misuc was concerned.
We beat Bradford Park Avenue 3 - 0 away the day after I was born - Division 3 South - I remember it well. No 1 was Telstar by the Tornados - a better lyric that most of today's noise !!!!! For those who want to join in try statto.com and thisdayinmusic.com
I was another one born in the close season at the end of July. First game of the season saw us draw 1-1 at Brighton in the old division 3 south. Alma Colgen was topping the charts with Dreamboat, which stayed at number 1 for two weeks.
Back in 1954 when I was born we won 2-0 at Watford in Div 3 South and Johnny Ray was No.1 with Such a Night.
