In order to welcome George Thomas our first George for a while I’m trying to think of a QPR George XI but I’m struggling. In fact I can barely get a 5-a-side team together.
Generosi Rossi Starts well with a GE then you have to shuffle the letters about a bit, take a few away, and add another G. Okay you find a George that’s played in goal for QPR.
George Kulscar To be honest I was out of town during the Kulscar era. I believe, like a lot of people that day, he scored against Palace in the 6-0. This George was an Australian international. To be pedantic his name is the Hungarian version György
George Jacks Captain of the outstanding youth team of the mid 60s but whereas Springett, Hunt, Hazell, Leach, Sibley, and the Morgan twins went on to have outstanding Rs careers George managed one appearance on the pitch and one appearance on the match day programme cover. Disappeared into obscurity ie: Millwall.
George Petchey Like Jacks an East Londoner. Well respected midfielder with 255 games for the Rs mostly in the 50s. Went on to manage, coach, and scout successfully for a number of clubs. Worked with Bobby Robson at Newcastle. Sounds like a proper football man. Died last December aged 88. Would like to know more about him.
George Best One game in a QPR shirt in the Alan McDonald testimonial. He’s in.
On the subs bench a couple more variants: Georges Santos (lovely shiny head), and Giorgios Tofas (one game - you probably know as much as me)
Best of luck to Mr. Thomas the new George ðŸ‘🼠| | | |  |

Gregory G was definitely considered Brian. As was Reece Grego-Cox. Both waiting for international countdown conundrum clearance | | | |

Re the GK, wasn't Bankole's nickname George? | |

Doh!
There you have it - with the combined brain-power of Brian, Camberley, and Carol Vorderman we just about have a QPR George XI. I hope George Thomas enjoys playing along side George Best and just behind the utterly unforgettable all-tme top goalscorer George Goddard.

Ademole 'George' Bankole?
Have to say our recent record with Georges is not brilliant. I hope GT can reverse the trend! | |

George Goddard...QPR's record goalscorer should never be forgotten. | | | |

And nor should George Whitelaw be forgotten. This bloke sounds like a proper character. A goalkeeper and bible-bashing centre-forward of the late fifties. Love this description of his debut goal.
Most sensational goal perhaps ever scored by George was the one he notched in that opening game. Remember ? Bradford City goalkeeper, Wilkinson, gathered the ball and George was there rushing forward right at him as he kicked it, which resulted in the ball rebounding into the net. And Rangers new centre forward had scored for his new club within moments of the start of his first game for them.’
Great to find out about an old Rs player I knew next to nothing about. He also inspired a young Frank Worthington when he moved to Halifax.
Some great stories about him in this Indy Rs piece:

Goalkeeper just HAS to be Ademole Bankole by virtue of the fact that every time he caught the ball it was accompanied by cries of "By George, he's saved it!" | |

This is one competition that Fulham could do well in.
Captain: It has to be George Georgiou - difficult to see who else could lead the team. Only played a few games in the early nineties, but there's no-one in World football more qualified to skipper a team of Georges.
George Cohen - World Cup winner and universally acknowledged as England's MOTM in the final. Legend.
George Best - a useful player at Man Utd, Best is universally acknowledged to have played his best football in a Fulham shirt. Kwazy 5-a-side skillz.
George Williams - looked promising in his first few games as a teenager. Nice lad. Universally acknowledged as having single-handedly led Wales to the Euro '16 semi-finals.
Boy George - GK - Kept out of the first XI by keeper Gerry Peyton, Boy George only made 6 first team appearances for Fulham before quitting the game, but was good enough to represent Fulham at the Evening Standard 5-a-sides in 1981 and 1982.
We've got a World Cup winner, a footballing genius, a bloke called George not once, but twice, a bloke who almost won a trophy for Wales, and a keeper who had about 400 hit records. Unbeatable. Unlock the trophy cabinet, shift over the intertoto and make some room for the Footballers called George 5-a-side trophy. I am fu cking buzzing! | |
