Ok here goes; matches transposed for discs, and favourite goal transposed for luxury item. Just one rule; you have to have been there! No teletext, radio or TV highlights permitted! 8 Matches: 1. Derby 0-1 QPR - Wembley - 24 May 2014 - Why? I can finally say I've seen QPR lift a trophy at Wembley 2. QPR 2-1 Wigan - Loftus Road - 12 May 2014 - Why? A great comeback - huge team spirit - singing in the rain and locked out of the Coningham Arms! 3. Manchester United 1-0 QPR - Old Trafford - 22 Nov 1986 - Why? First ever QPR match for me; oh and the first for SAF too! 4. Stoke City 2-2 Bolton Wanderers - Britannia Stadium - 13 May 2012 - Why? I was there cheering on Stoke in an executive box keeping one eye on the result at the Etihad. Man United pipped to the post QPR stayed up! 5. QPR 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday - Loftus Road - 01 Jan 1994 - Why? My last match on the Loftus Road terrace - a poor student at the time, I queued from 1.00pm and wasted my last few pounds of Christmas money. 6. QPR 3-2 West Bromwich Albion - Loftus Road - 20 Dec 2014 - Why? An absolute thriller [I wasn't at the 3-2 Liverpool match in March 2012] 7. QPR 2-1 Cardiff City - Loftus Road - 27 Nov 2010 - Why? After going one down - Adel Taarabt picked the ball out of the air, beat defender and curled the ball home. I hugged the bloke next to me! 8. Cheltenham Town 1-1 QPR - Whaddon Road - 19 Oct 2002 - Why? Back on the terraces - the only time with my two brothers - singing Chim Chiminey to Danny S**ttu. 1 Goal: Danny Dichio - QPR 2-1 Oxford United - 17 Aug 1996 - Why? First game of the season; full of hope [as ever], and 1-1 at the time. Danny Dichio is substituted in, scores, and is booked all in 3 mad minutes! Not a spectacular goal, but remembered fondly.
Difficult to place just eight but here goes in no particular order and from some hazy memories: 1. QPR 2 Man Utd 3 Oct 68, my first ever match... 2. QPR 2 Chelsea 4 1970? FA Cup Quarter Final, sadly they were too good for us... 3. Chelsea 0 QPR 3 1974? Went with my Chelsea-mad uncle who went to the toilet when we went 2-0 up and never returned... 4. QPR 2 Leeds 0 May 76 We were 'Champions' for 10 days... 5. England 3 Argentina 1 1980? The World Champions came to Wembley with a 17-year-old 'star' called Maradona. After 10 minutes he picked up a pass in the centre circle and then went past four defenders like they were cardboard cut-outs and shot inches wide. I thought 'he looks tasty'... 6. Liverpool 4 QPR 0 1988? Spent a few days in Blackpool playing local golf courses and we rounded it off visiting Anfield, we were top they were 2nd and we got mullered... 7. QPR 2 Wigan 1 May 14 What a battle! Pissy weather but we did it. missed last train home and luckily got to Waterloo in time to catch night bus... 8. Derby 0 QPR 1 May 14 Ohhh Bobby Zamora!... 1 Goal: Dave Thomas, 1975 Charlton 0 QPR 3 a League cup replay after we had luckily drawn at home. Dave picked up the ball on the half-way line weaved down the left and cut in and hit the sweetest shot you'll ever see from 35 yards, it was still rising when it hit the top far corner of the net. I was in a direct line of sight behind him on one of the huge old terraces at the Valley...
Sku.....good idea and deserves more responses, so here goes, in a kind of order...... 1. Jan 66 v Brentford won 1-0 no idea who scored, but first game I went to aged 5 1/2.... 2. March 67 League Cup Final.....no brainer 3. May 68 v Villa away...last minute own goal sees R's promoted to 1st Division for first time in history.... 4. May 76 v Leeds home....we were champions for 10 days 5. May 76 Wolves v Liverpool.....Liverpool score 3 times in last 15 minutes to steal the title from us 6. Nov 76 v Cologne away....3-0 up from 1st leg what could go wrong? 7. Oct 09 v Barnsley home won 5-2, in the middle of the period when Magilton had us playing total football. 8. May 14 v OBZ Day Goal.....Still think Gerry's goal on the first day of the 76 season against Liverpool is one of the finest goals I have ever seen the R's score....
This is a bit too much like hard work....... 1. QPR 3 Cardiff 0 September 1972, first game, a cracker, Stan scored 2. QPR 2 Liverpool 0 August 1975 - Don Masson turned a very good team into a title challenging one 3. QPR 1 WBA 0 FA Cup Semi Final April 1982, pure bliss 4. QPR 1 Spurs 1/0 -1 Final and replay - great occasions, we was robbed second game 5. AC Milan 5 Real Madrid 0 European Cup semi final April 1989, best football I have ever seen, stunning atmosphere 6. AC Milan 4 Steua Bucharest 0 European Cup Final May 1989, great boys road trip to Barcelona, best team of any sort I have ever seen destroy the opposition 7. England 1 Germany 1 (you know the rest) WC semi final Turin July 1990 - most emotional game I have been to 8. Hertha Berlin 0 Hannover 2 - November 2014, whole experience restored my faith in football after 20 years of Sky and money ruining it. Goal - actually probably would go with Tramore's selection, but Remy's against Wigan was simply stunning, even more so because Mbia played it brilliantly.
As Tramore stated good idea sku and does deserve more responses. In no particular order.. 1. Sept '84 QPR 5 Newcastle 5 ( 4 down at half time, an amazing comeback. ) 2. Nov '76 QPR 3 Fc Koln 0 ( Bowles scored our third and brought his tally to 10 goals which was then a record for an English player. He also told me it was the best goal he ever scored.) 3. March '77 QPR 3 AEK Athens 0 ( This was scheduled to be played at Wembley originally and I still remember the programme with the twin towers on the front even though the match was moved back to LR. I loved the European games under the floodlights. ) 4. March '86 QPR 6 Chelsea 0 ( Not much else needs to be said. ) 5. Jan '86 Chelsea 0 QPR 2 ( Lge Cup Qtr Final. A wonder goal from just inside the half-way line from Robinson and a header from Macca sealed the win. ) 6. May '08 Moscow Chelsea 1 Man Utd 1 ( Utd win 6-5 on pens ) ( I was at the game when Terry slipped. ) 7. March '12 QPR 3 Liverpool 2 ( Unbelievable! ) 8. May '14 QPR 1 Derby 0 ( Can it get any better than this? ) Goal - OBZ at Wembley. It's a bit obvious but I can't remember ever feeling such a disbelief, joy and sheer ecstasy at a QPR goal that never ever looked like coming.
No 6 is 17th October 1987. I was in hospital giving birth to my eldest daughter through out....she was born at 5 20pm....they knocked us off the top of the table
