They came through the ranks 09:57 - Apr 1 with 2417 views

After my posting on the Dave Clements thread, I started to think about what would have been our best side that graduated from our youth.

I'm sure that age would have a lot to do with any selection, but here are my picks.

Peter Hucker

Dave Clement
Alan Mcdonald
Frank Sibley
Ian Gillard

Martyn Busby
Gary Waddock
Gerry Francis
Wayne Fereday

Clive Allen
Paul Goddard

Sub Mick Leach

I'm sure the side would be unbalanced but it would more than hold it's place in the Premier League!

I didn't see Ron Springett in his first spell with us & so I didn't consider him, but I've had to leave out players of the calibre of Hunt, the Morgans, Neal, Dawes & Langley.

Do Peter Crouch and Eze count as coming through our ranks?

I think you've nailed it first time, Terry.

Can't think of any ex-Rangers youth player that would improve that team.

Basically a (brilliant) 70s-cum-80s team, which is an object lesson in how things have slid south for QPR and the pro game since in terms of player retention and development.

Football clubs just aren't proper anymore.

Poll:

How do you feel about Marti post-Leicester?

According to wiki you are correct dublin. I didn't know that!

Ian Dawes, please step forward.

All down to personal preference Dave, but I would take the two England internationals I named every time .
