That 15 minute blitz effectively saved us from relegation, launching a run of 5 straight home wins under Sparky...
One of the best, if not the best QPR comebacks I have witnessed live. The joint was rocking.
"50 long years of misery, frustration and despair", I couldn't have put it better myself...

That and Bobby Dazzler are my two sporting highlights. Unbridled joy.
51 years ago today Rodney Marsh made his home debut in a 6-1 win over Millwall in the old 3rd Division scoring twice. In goal for Millwall that day was Alex Stepney who had commented on how poor English keepers were and that he'd never conceded more than two goals in any game! Millwall fans had tried to get the game abandoned by invading the pitch. Millwall went on to be promoted that season with us just missing out before our best ever season the following year...

21 years ago today (1996) the late great Alan Mc Donald made his 52nd and final appearance for Northern Ireland. The most capped player in QPR's history.
I remember that game well Sooper. I met Alex Stepney a few years back and reminded him of the score that day.

So sad, was a great player in a great team......
On this day 50 years ago Sir Gareth Edwards made his debut for Wales in Paris, the start of a run of 53 consecutive matches in their golden era which saw him win three Grand Slams. He also was part of the Lions winning tours in New Zealand and South Africa and, unsurprisingly, was the scorer of a try so legendary it is simply referred to as "that try"...

I was sat on a busy side street in Wellington waiting to deliver a load of concrete and all I had was my phone and the official site updates
Must have been very confusing for the locals all the cheering coming from my truck that morning
Still the greatest try I've ever seen. Every time I watch it I get goosebumps. Those side steps by Phil Bennett were sublime. What a side Wales had then and what a side the Barbarians were then too.
Absolutely, I remember watching that match on TV and what is often overlooked because of that try is the fact it was a fantastic game of rugby with everything that epitomises the spirit of the Ba-Ba's. This is highlights of the match and some of the play is incredible but NZ played their part as well. At 3 mins 20 secs on the tape is a try that was disallowed for a forward pass right at the end that would have rivalled the Edwards try, David Duckham's side-stepping was brilliant as he played the game of his life and he made another try later in the game with some twinkle-toed mastery...
