QPR toast first cup final success since 67 – Report

Tuesday, 2nd Feb 2021 16:30 by Clive Whittingham

A fairy-tale last-minute winner from boyhood QPR fan Albert Adomah sealed Rangers’ first cup final success since 1967 on Monday night as the R’s came from a goal down to beat global giants Watford 2-1.


Bar one boozy night in the steaming Ibiza summer of 2005, it’s been a long time between cup final drinks for Queens Park Rangers.

The pictures were black and white, the commentator was Kenneth Wolstenholme, the sixties were swinging, and one Rodney Marsh was leading an unheralded Third Division team from the front, recovering from two goals down to defeat heavy favourites West Bromwich Albion 3-2 in front of just shy of 98,000 people.
