30 November

On this day 26 years ago on 30 November 1991 QPR won away (see we can do it) defeating Notts County 1-0 thanks to a stoppage time winner from Les Ferdinand.

We were 21st heading into this match after a poor start to the season but this last minute winner really sparked a turn around in our fortunes that season..

The R's would go on an 11 game unbeaten run in the league stretching into February 1992. They would only lose 4 more games in the rest of the season and would finish 11th.

You can see Sir Les' winner here:

01 December

1 year ago today we lost 2-1 to Wolves in a bizarre Thursday night match.

James Perch was sent off at 0-0 for a ridiculous challenge when he was already on a booking so we were up against it. Wolves should have been more than 2-0 ahead before a consolation from Lynch.

I thought this one was interesting as we went 2-0 down on Sky again before a bit of a revival very late on. Why do our matches on TV always follow such a similar pattern?

02 December

28 years ago on 02 December 1989 Ray Wilkins made his QPR debut.

It was also the first match in charge of QPR for Don Howe who replaced Trevor Francis in the same week Wilkins was signed.

The R's would defeat Crystal Palace 3-0 at Selhurst Park thanks to a Danny Maddix header and 2 lovely goals from Andy Sinton. Oh to have a tricky winger with that pace now. And a comfortable away win!

Lovely to see some Sinton magic! You are right to ask where it is this season northwesthoop too. OK we have had Wzsolek and Wheeler doing defensive duties more often than going forward and Lualua ineffective (being polite) but a winger taking on players and crossing well has been missed (especially by the strikers)!

On this day 23 years ago on 04 December 1994 QPR defeated West Ham 2-1 at Loftus Road

An early header from Les Ferdinand and a fine solo effort from Trevor Sinclair but the R's 2-0 up at half time.

West Ham bagged a last minute consolation but QPR deserved all 3 points in this Super Sunday match live on Sky. Highlights below!

05 December 1997

It was on this day 20 years ago on 05 December 1997 that Ray Harford was officially confirmed as QPR boss after a contract wrangle with West Brom which had delayed him taking over.

He was of course to have a pretty disastrous reign that lasted only 10 months.

He took over a team comfortably in mid-table and we ended up 1 point from safety. Then he left us in the relegation zone during the following season when he resigned.

May he rest in peace but he will certainly go down as one of the worst managers in QPR history only winning FOUR games whilst in charge.

06 December

On this day 3 years ago on 06 December 2014 QPR beat Burnley 2-0 in a Premier League clash.

Charlie Austin was the man in the headlines once again. He set up Leroy Fer for the first goal after half time and then he swept home the second after a lovely, slick move to seal the 3 points. He was then sent off for a second bookable offence on an eventful afternoon!

The win took us out of the bottom 3 and above both Burnley and Leicester in the table. Look at what has happened to both of those teams compared to QPR since then...

We just could not build on a solid Autumn period and slumped badly after Christmas.

Highlights of the game here:

07 December

On this day 26 years ago on 07 December 1991 QPR beat Sheffield United 1-0 at Loftus Road

It was Roy Wegerle who bagged the goal in front on the Loft. It was his last goal at Loftus Road. He did score another 2 away, but never another in front of his home fans before he departed for Blackburn in March 1992.

So if you used to enjoy watching Roy Wegerle strutting his stuff at Loftus Road the last time you saw him score at home was 26 years ago today!

You can see his last Loftus Road goal below:

08 December

38 years ago today on 08 December 1979 Stan Bowles last appeared in a QPR shirt at Loftus Road before joining Nottingham Forest.

He bowed out in an entertaining 2-2 draw with Wrexham which you can see below. The R's were 2-0 down but fought back with 2 goals from Goddard to earn a draw.

Look out for a typical 1970's 2nd goal for Wrexham!

This match ended a glorious 7 year period at Loftus Road for Bowles and I'm sure we'd all like to rewind those 38 years to see him resplendent in hoops again.

It is also Happy Birthday to Sir Les Ferdinand, 51 today!

11 December

A decade ago on 11 December 2007 QPR won away 2-0 at Turf Moor defeating Burnley

A header on the hour from Damion Stewart put the R's in the lead

With Burnley chasing an equaliser they sent their goalkeeper up for a corner and Rowan Vine was able to seal a memorable away win, firing into an empty net.

12 December

50 years ago today QPR defeated Blackburn 3-1 thanks to goals from Marsh, Wilks and Sanderson.

This was part of 6 match winning run at Loftus Road and we were on the way to finishing 2nd in Division 2 to win a second successive promotion.

In typical QPR fashion we were relegated the very next season, finishing bottom with only 18 points from 42 games.

Half a century on and we are still very much the same old QPR!
