28 November

On this day 20 years ago QPR beat Bradford 3-0 away from home at Valley Parade

It was an impressive victory as Bradford were heading for promotion whereas the R's only avoided relegation on goal difference

Goals from Peacock, Gallen and Sheron gave the hoops the 3 points in a surprise performance 2 decades ago today. It was Bradford's only home defeat between August and March.

30 November

On this day 22 years ago on 30 November 1996 QPR beat Sheffield United 1-0 in a Division 1 fixture at Loftus Road

Simon Barker scored a penalty to secure the points for the R's who had gone 6 games without a win going in to the fixture on this day.

The win sparked a real upturn in form and QPR won 5 games in a row.

In typical QPR fashion we then went 8 games without a win later in the season to see our play off challenge fade.

06 December

On this day a decade ago on 06 December 2008 Martin Rowlands scored a stunner from 20 yards as QPR beat Wolves 1-0

Wolves were the leaders at the time and had wonn seven of their previous eight games but they came unstuck at Loftus Road

Rowlands his a memorable goal in the 63rd minute to give the hoops the 3 points. I've tried to find a clip online to no avail, if you can find a video of the goal please do post it!

Here was the QPR side 10 years ago today:

Starting 11: Cerny, Ramage, Delaney, Stewart, Gorkss, Ephraim, Mahon, Rowlands, Blackstock (Cook 27), Helguson (Tommasi 77), Agyemang, Cook (Di Carmine 90).
Subs Not Used: Cole, Borrowdale.

13 December

On this day 43 years ago on 13 December 1975 QPR drew 1-1 with Derby County at Loftus Road in a clash of the top 2 in Division 1 at the time.

17 year old Phil Nutt (ever heard of him?) scored his only ever QPR goal to give the R's the lead with a second half header (he only ever made 4 appearances for QPR)

The R's could not hold on for the win though and a barrage of Derby pressure ultimately told and they equalised late on through Bruce Rioch - who would of course become QPR Assistant Manager in the future.

Look out for Dave Thomas trying a number of long range efforts, one of which looked set to be goal of the season until it struck the crossbar after a wonder save from the keeper

Extended Highlights and a lovely interview with Phil Nutt below:

One of the reasons we had such a great side. Dave Thomas is the best right footed left winger I have ever seen, he was a great crosser of the ball with his left foot and had a good shot with his right, The full backs never new if he was going to go down the line and cross the ball or cut back, come inside and have a shot. When teams set themselves up to stop him on the left he could switch wings and play as an orthodox winger on the right.

In those days you needed to be able to play more than one position as you could only use one substitute.

14 December

On this day 61 years ago on 14 December 1957 QPR drew 1-1 with Torquay United in the old Division 3 South

Pat Woods scored the R's goal that afternoon

The reason I bring up such a random 'on this day' is that it sparked a run of 6 consecutive 1-1 draws over Christmas.

Does anybody know of such a run of the same scoreline at any other time in the R's history? I know we may have won or lost x amount of games in a row but to have not just the same result but the same score for 6 games is highly unlikely!

It probably goes without saying that the R's finished mid-table that season in 10th place!

21 December

On this day 27 years ago on 21 December 1991 QPR beat Norwich 1-0 away at Carrow Road

Dennis Bailey scored in injury time with a beautiful finish after an exquisite Ray Wilkins pass to secure all 3 points for the hoops.

This win was the 4th game of an 11 game unbeaten run for the R's who would actually lose only 1 of 18 games in a stretch from November to April. This came after a poor start to the season only winning 1 of the first 12! Ultimately QPR finished 11th out of 22 in the final old Division 1 season.

5 years since Bobby Zamora sent us all into raptures. I simply cannot fathom out how it is 5 years ago. Quite sad actually how fast time goes and how much we buggered up since! Incredible memories though, it just doesn't feel like half a decade ago to me!

Here is a superb video some of you may not have been. 3:00 is particularity insane! Goosebumps!
