I was in the 'ammers end with my brother and school mate (both QPR) and a couple of girls from class (Hammers).
At full time this very large Hammers fan beside me said "If I fking see a QPR fan I'm gong to fking kill 'im". I slowly zipped up my Harrington jacket as I'd forgotten to take off my enamel QPR badge from my jumper.

Great memories. We used to meet up for away games before and after at Moriaty’s on Baker Street station. Always get a lot of decent likeminded fans of other clubs there back then. ‘Ammers lot were a fair minded lot compared to some of the numb nuts they had and still have.
Allen nearly scored something similar at OT in the season opener when we were 2-1 down. Rangers played well nearly had them, but of course, United went straight up the other end and killed it 3-1.
Any one at the Abbey Stadium the season prior, when Allen scored a similar belter?
Clive Allen: a great goal scorer and a scorer of great goals!

I have a question that hopefully some poster can answer.At the top of the article there is a shot of Allen wearing the original Guinness shirt which I am still searching the globe for 40 years later .In the video the QPR crest appears to be in red unlike the picture .Is that from a different year or just for the away strip when we wore blue shorts . Thanks

The goal against West Ham is one of my favourites. Clive Allen in his prime would score a hatful in the current side and we wouldn't have to worry about the defence!

I vividly remember that West Ham goal as we’d just got our first ever Ferguson video player that weekend, and I managed to record it for my Dad and uncles off The Big Match while they were at the pub and show it to them when they turned up later. It was like witchcraft for all of us.

Yes it's amazing the things that stay with you, I've fairly vivid memories of this even though it's pushing 40 years ago. I was in the away end too and IIRC, it was the first time we'd gone over to UP & "filled" the away section with boisterous support. On my previous two visits (79/80 - Bobby Hazell OG and 80/81 midweek did Goddard score 3 for them?) the away end was sectioned off but our fans were spread around it rather than massed. Pre 79/80 I'm not even sure the away fans were sectioned off, anyone recall?
