[Albion] Friendly v QPR

[Official Old Man]

Don't want to take away the original theme but Rodney Marsh is 79. What?
When Reinelt 62 mentioned seeing him in '66 I thought no way but he would have been in his prime having just joined QPR.
Getting old isn't nice.

Might have been the earlier friendly mentioned for Frankie Howard.

He left QPR in 1972

I've seen Rodney Marsh play at the Goldstone, but always thought it was this game. It was in a friendly I'm sure because he laid on all the skills he had and showed off to the crowd. So if it wasn't this game, when was it?

Oh what utter joy. Knowing you could look at those fixtures and plan NOW. Safe in the knowledge that they were very unlikely to be moved unless the Four Horseman turned up. And even then they would probably wait patiently for the match to finish first.

Joe Kinnear testimonial against Spurs 1-6

Jimmy Greaves played too

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

He left QPR in 1972

As it was a testimonial (friendly), he could’ve guested as he was playing in the US by then.

I see @kojak came out with the answer, but in the same season so guesting.

Bloody Rachid Harkouk played

Gospel truth, his name cropped up only yesterday in the pub talking about a Palace match.

….doo do doo do doo do doo do….

With thanks to the splendid @Hiney who I hate with a passion because if I look at https://www.seagullsprogrammes.co.uk/ at 7pm one evening you can be guaranteed it will be bedtime before I manage to wean myself off it.

QPR would have been relegated that season and it would be another 23 years before we faced them in any competitive match.

Actually, that doesn't surprise me

Think Mullery scored the pen against Spurs

Think Mullery scored the pen against Spurs

Joe Kinnear did

Joe Kinnear did

That makes more sense, though I do recall Mullery scoring one in a friendly at some point?
There’s a picture in one of the old John Vinnicombe books

Greetings

I have a vague recollection of watching Brighton play QPR in a pre-season friendly around 1976 at the Goldstone. Possibly finished 1-1

Does anyone remember this? QPR were huge back then and it's one of the few clubs i've never seen (or have I?)

Ta muchly

I remember a pre season against QPR possibly 86 and it kicking off in the park.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

It’s always sad to see the name of Dave Clement, really gifted QPR right back who should have got more than his 5 England caps. He broke his leg in his early 30s and was told his career was over. He’d suffered from depression and couldn’t take the news. He killed himself by drinking weed killer. His two sons, Neil and Paul, both had successful careers in football.

I may be wrong but think he scored in Peter O’Sullivans testimonial against Southampton- 1980?
