I thought I'd start a new feature where we look back at something QPR related that happened 'On This Day'.

I'll update this thread (when I remember and when there is something that actually happened!) and you can share your memories of the event in question.

Time flies and I'm sure a few of the memories that flag up will make us feel old and nostalgic!

On this day 4 years ago on 05 October 2013 a second half brace from Charlie Austin secured a 2-0 win over Barnsley as QPR remained unbeaten.

Highlights:

Am I right in thinking this was the game where Rob Green set the record for consecutive clean sheets for us?

I am a QPR fan for life, sometimes happily!

I can still see him gliding past defenders using his incredible pace and ball skills and made crossing the ball seem effortless.

06 October

5 years ago on 06 October 2012 Mark Hughes saw his QPR side lose 3-2 away at West Brom; our 7th game without a win at the time from the start of the season. It would incredibly be another 10 games before the R's finally won in December!

On this day in 1975 former R's forward Steve Slade was born. The perennial substitute celebrates his 42nd birthday today.

08 October

23 years ago on 8th October 1994 we drew 1-1 away to Tottenham.

Both sides were reduced to 10 men in the 37th minute as Ferdinand and Scott were sent off for 'hangbags'! Rangers nudged in front in first half injury time as Impey headed in Sinclair's astute cross. Barmby lobbed the Spurs equaliser with 10 minutes to go. Steve Yates was Man Of The Match for marking Klinsmann out of the game.
"

In doing research I also came across this - an article detailing a 2-1 win for the R's away at Eastbourne 115 years ago today!

You can read the article here: www.indyrs.co.uk/2017/09/eastbourne-1-qpr-2-8th-october-1902/

09 October

On 09 October 1999 QPR Won 2-1 at home to Tranmere. Rob Steiner and Gavin Peacock scored the goals for the R's in front of a half empty Loftus Road. But the game was more notable for who scored for Tranmere that day...

Just 9,357 fans were in attendance to see a 20 year old Clint Hill score an equaliser for Tranmere in the 54th minute against his future club!

Report:

Hill scored their equaliser with a strong header in the 54th minute and he may have been assisted by the lack of mobility in QPR keeper Lee Harper, who had only just pulled a muscle. Harper, a stand-in for the injured Ludo Miklosko, was withdrawn a minute after the goal to be replaced by Nigerian Ademole 'George' Bankole.

10 October

Quite a historic event happened on this day 50 years ago....

Half a century has now passed since Alan Wilks scored all 5 goals for QPR against Oxford United on 10 October 1967!

His goals secured a 5-1 win for the R's in this League Cup 3rd Round tie for the 1967/68 season.

He scored in the first minute and couldn't stop scoring in front of 16,989 at Loftus Road.

Rangers were of course the League Cup holders at the time but we would go on to lose to Burnley in the next round.

This is - according to my extensive research - the only time in the clubs history a QPR player has scored FIVE goals in ONE game.

If you can find another time an R's player scored 5 times in a competitive game let us know.

Incredible that in 135 years with the club moving up and down all the divisions this has only occurred once - and it was 50 years ago today!

11 October

A big birthday for a former QPR legend today as they turn 50... Happy Birthday Danny Maddix!

Another R's birthday today is that of Rodney Marsh who is 73 today. Marsh scored 106 goals in 211 games for the R's between 1966 and 1972. An incredible record.

How about a video of a fantastic hat-trick from the Legend to celebrate:

How do you rank legends? Most would have Marsh higher up than Maddix but Maddix played far more games and was a fixture in hoops for well over a decade between 1987 and 2001.

An interesting debate. Is it how many games you play? What you achieve? How you play?

12 October

2 days in a row now it has been the birthday of real QPR legends.

Today it is the turn of Alan Mcdonald who would have been 54 today. It is now over 5 years since he sadly passed away. RIP Macca.

It is also the Birthday of Chris Plummer - remember him? His time at QPR was beset by injuries, making just over 60 appearances despite being with the R's for close to a decade after joining the club as a trainee. Plummer is 41 today.
