Players Who have played for both;
Karl Henry: Played 118 for QPR, scored 2. Played some for Bolton but stats not found. Left amid a dispute over unpaid wages.

I'm sure there must be others but my mind is blank and I can't find any others. I'm sure those more knowledgeable than me can add some below.

Match Preview

This week we face another club with financial struggles, as Bolton have agreed this week a deal to pay their main creditor, thus avoiding administration. They find themselves sitting in 8th place, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. A good start, particularly when compared to our 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses. I know there has been a lot going on off the pitch, and a lot for Steve to sort out and re-arrange, but we need to start getting points on the board.

AFTER a short break QPR are back in league action on Saturday, as the R’s take on the Trotters at the University of Bolton Stadium.

Steve McClaren’s side had a positive week before the international break and have now had 14 days at Harlington to prepare for a tough match against 8th place Bolton Wanderers.

The Whites have enjoyed a fine start to the season, beating West Brom and Reading whilst drawing with Bristol City and Preston. Wanderers may be having issues off the pitch but on it, they are performing very well.

Parkinson has put together a team of hard-working and honest players that have played in a more attacking manner this season, and have certainly enjoyed success adopting a somewhat ‘no fear’ brand of football.

The summer signings of Josh Magennis, Luke Murphy and Yanic Wildschut have increased the quality and depth of a Bolton side that narrowly avoided the drop last campaign.

In this fixture last season the R’s came from behind to claim a deserved 1-1 draw with Idrissa Sylla netting a late equaliser.

Rangers have not lost to Bolton in any of the last six meetings between the two clubs – a run Steve McClaren will be hoping continues come 5:00 pm Saturday.
Those who are making it, enjoy the trip, and COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

Tal Ben Haim and Les Ferdinand are the only other players that I can think of who have played for both.

Reading Clive's preview on LFW it's rather surprising that for 2 clubs formed in 1877 (them) and 1882 (us) we didn't play each other until 1967/68 season, no cup games, nowt. That was off course the year that we won our first promotion to Division 1 and we managed to take 3 out of 4 points from them.

We next played the in 69/70 following our relegation in 68/69 and we managed to score 4 at their place, unfortunately they scored 6!!!!!!!! They also put 4 past us at HQ that season.......

This guy was a footballing genius along with Stan and Rodney and was worth the entrance fee alone.......

I remember that 6-4 game played in the snow, so many games were off that day.

Worthington was different class, scandalous that so many of the 'entertainers' won so few caps...

Err! Boys, can we try to concentrate on the footy?

Anyone have any ideas on the starting line-up? :)
