Stan Bowles - RIP

Another great player gone to the stadium in the sky.

Stan Bowles: Former England and QPR forward dies aged 75 - BBC Sport

One of the stars of the game when I first began watching football

RIP Stan Bowles

 

I think we posted at the same time BT. I’ve suggested in the ‘other football’ post if we should have a special thread for footballers who have passed away.

 

Hmm it could be an idea, so long as it doesn't become too depressing.

 

He was a maverick player with bags of skill. I happened to see him score this goal for QPR v Sunderland whilst up in London (4.41)

ps Anyone remember QPR’s visit to Ninian in a league cup match mid 70’s - “Stanley, Stanley where’s your wife?”
