Jan Stejskal’s last-second penalty save — history
Tuesday, 18th Nov 2014 23:08 by Clive Whittingham

With QPR up at Newcastle on Saturday, LFW looks back a one of Les Ferdinand’s best ever QPR performances in a victory sealed by Jan Stejskal’s last-gasp penalty save on this ground in 1993.

Recent Meetings

QPR 1 Newcastle 2, Sunday May 12, 2013, Premier League

With Newcastle just about safe and QPR long since relegated, these two sides engaged in a farcical nonsense on their last meeting at Loftus Road in May 2013. Rangers had allowed an already abject season to totally collapse after their demotion was confirmed and went into the game on a run of seven without a win and four without a goal, but they took the lead early on when Debuchy was harshly adjudged to have fouled Junior Hoilett on the edge of the box and Loic Remy converted the R’s first penalty of the season at the fourth attempt. This was to be a game remembered for the crowd finally turning on Jose Bosingwa once and for all — the Portuguese full back first conceded a spot kick by pulling Ben Arfa’s shirt in the area and allowing the French winger to equalise from the spot. Then he had a hand in a maddening second by leaving a pass back to Robert Green short allowing Guttierez to sweep in and give the away side the lead. The second half saw visiting keeper Rob Elliott sent off for two yellow cards — one for kicking the ball away, the other deliberately handling outside his area in a ridiculous incident. But QPR couldn’t make their numerical advantage count and slipped to a meek defeat.

QPR: Green 5, Bosingwa 3 (Fabio 46, 6), Onuoha 6, Hill 6, Traore 5, Townsend 6, Jenas 5, Mbia 4 (Derry 46, 6), Hoilett 4 (Taarabt 84, -), Zamora 5, Remy 6

Newcastle 1 QPR 0, Saturday December 22, 2012, Premier League

QPR’s two games at Newcastle during their last Premier League stint were almost identical. Two poor, dull matches almost devoid of quality that both finished 1-0 to the home side with Rangers barely posing a threat of a goal of their own at all. Just a couple of days before Christmas in 2012, Harry Redknapp’s side were beaten by a late strike from Shola Ameobi when the otherwise excellent Ryan Nelsen dropped too deep and played him on side. The game was best remembered for the post match press conference when Harry Redknapp revealed that Jose Bosingwa had been fined for refusing to sit on the bench the week before against Fulham, and that his wages eclipsed anything his previous players at Spurs had been earning.

Newcastle: Krul 6, Simpson 6, Coluccini 6, Williamson 6, Santon 6, Gutierrez 6 (Obertan 60, 7), Perch 5, Tiote 6 (Marveaux 77, 7), Anita 7, Ba 5, Cisse 5 (Sh Ameobi 61, 6)

Newcastle 1 QPR 0, Sunday January 15, 2012, Premier League

The Mark Hughes era got underway in earnest at St James Park in January with his first league game in charge. Rangers started brightly with Shaun Wright-Phillips hitting the top of the bar and Jay Bothroyd the outside of the post, and Hughes certainly had the team looking more organised and in a solid shape with a basic two banks of four in front of the defence. But when Leon Best was given the benefit of the doubt by the linesman and waved onside to curl in the opening goal a dire game was already heading the way of the hosts. Shaun Derry was fortunate to stay on the field after a late tackle on Yohan Cabaye that brought the Frenchman’s afternoon to an end and Jay Bothroyd further endeared himself to the travelling faithful by spurning two decent chances for an equaliser in the second half.

Newcastle: Krul 7, Simpson 6, Coloccini 7, Williamson 6, Santon 6, Ryan Taylor 6 (Gosling 81. -), Guthrie 6, Cabaye 6 (Ben Arfa 25, 7), Gutierrez 7, Best 7 (Perch 76, 6), Shola Ameobi 5

QPR 0 Newcastle 0, Monday September 12, 2011, Premier League

It’s amazing to think how optimistic everybody was, and how well the QPR team played, when these sides last met at Loftus Road right at the beginning of last season. Tony Fernandes takeover complete and six new signings hurried through the doors, QPR took to the field for a Sky Monday Night Football match against Newcastle. The game finished 0-0, although quite how it finished 0-0 nobody was could be sure. QPR were excellent, dominant throughout, and denied a victory only by stubborn, and often last ditch, defending from the visiting team. Shaun Wright-Phillips was man of the match on his debut and had a first half lob kicked off the goalline after beating Tim Krul. It all seems such a long time ago.

QPR: Kenny 7, Young 8, Ferdinand 7, Gabbidon 6, Traore 7 (Connolly 51, 6), Derry 7, Faurlin 8, Wright-Phillips 8 (Puncheon 88, -) Barton 7, Taarabt 8, Bothroyd 7 (Campbell 80, -)

Newcastle 1 QPR 1, Wednesday September 30, 2009, Championship

QPR were at the height of their Jim Magilton form back in 2009 when they travelled to St James’ Park for the first time since 1996. Newcastle were top but QPR were flying up the table amid a host of free scoring thrashings and took an early lead when Ben Watson’s speculative shot was deflected past Steve Harper to send a sizeable midweek travelling support wild. Rangers had good cause to be angry with referee Rob Shoebridge thereafter, the Derbyshire based official seemed hugely intimidated by the large home crowd and awarded a ridiculously harsh penalty against Damion Stewart midway through the first half which Danny Guthrie took and the superb Radek Cerny saved. The Magpies did get their equaliser in the second half when Marlon Harewood climbed off the bench to bundle home his annual goal against QPR and although Cerny was the QPR man of the match the visitors had more than their fair share of the game and were thoroughly good value for their point.

Newcastle: Harper 7, Enrique 7, Taylor 7, Khizanishvili 6, Simpson 6, Smith 7, Butt 4 (Gutierrez 46, 8), Nolan 6, Guthrie 4 (Lovenkrands 88, -), Carroll 8, Ranger 6 (Harewood 61, 7)

Memorable Meeting

Newcastle 1 QPR 2, Saturday October 16, 1993, Premiership

Les Ferdinand often seemed to save his best QPR performances for games against Newcastle, and so it should come as no surprise that when he did finally leave Loftus Road it was the Magpies at the front of the queue with a £6m fee — big money at the time. Those close to Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan at the time said it was Ferdinand’s part in this memorable QPR win in 1993 that convinced him he had to buy the powerful forward — at the time he described as one of the all time great centre forward performances.

And Ferdinand shouldn’t have even played in the game. He’d missed England’s World Cup qualifier against Holland during the week with a hamstring complaint and wasn’t even down to travel with his team mates to St James’ Park at the weekend. Ferdinand achieved legendary status at QPR, but did also have a reputation for sitting out games regularly with pretty minor knocks. Manager Gerry Francis, with QPR going reasonably well in the Premier League at the time, decided to take Ferdinand anyway for this meeting against the newly promoted Magpies.

The team had a light training session in the north east on Saturday morning and Francis asked Ferdinand to give him 45 minutes if he could. The QPR fans, assembling in the corner pen of the vast terrace behind the goal, were shocked to see Ferdinand out on the field warming up and word quickly spread among the travelling faithful that the bookie on the concourse below didn’t have Ferdinand down on his form and was offering tens on him getting the first goal. A stampede ensued, and was repeated again at half time as they returned to the beleaguered bookmaker and collected their winnings.

Newcastle, champions of the First Division the year before, were unbeaten in ten matches coming into the game and boasted the country’s most prolific striker at the time Andy Cole in their attack. But it took Ferdinand just ten minutes to break them down, by which time he’d already struck the base of the post in the opening stages with a left foot volley from the edge of the area. The goal when it came was a result of a prodigious leap from Ferdinand on halfway initially to divert a high clearance into the path of Ray Wilkins. The veteran central midfielder then made the most of the time afforded to him by Newcastle to craft a perfect return through ball to Ferdinand who’d covered 60 yards in no time at all to seize the chance and find the back of the net via the bottom of both goal posts. His sixth goal of the season at that point.

Newcastle had no answer to Ferdinand all afternoon and he could easily have made it two midway through the first half when he embarrassed Kevin Scott for pace, dribbled a low finish past Mike Hooper, but then could only watch as it was cleared from the goal line by Scott scrambling back.

Rangers should have made more of their first half dominance and were made to pay within seconds of the restart when Cole flicked on a near post cross by Rob Lee and Malcolm Allen, the only non-Englishman in the Newcastle line up that day, hooked home a tremendous volley from 12 yards out.

But the home celebrations were short lived as Ferdinand, fit enough to play for more than the originally planned 45 and now being booed by the home crowd after a fracas with Barry Venison on the way off at half time, recommenced his systematic torture of the Newcastle defence. He won a corner with persistent play down the right straight from the kick off, then powerfully headed Ray Wilkins’ delivery down into the six yard box where his strike partner Bradley Allen was on hand to smash the ball into the roof of the net from close range. Barely 60 seconds had passed between the goals.

Gerry Francis sent on defender Steve Yates for Trevor Sinclair to secure the defence but it was still Rangers looking the more likely to score as the half wore on and only a superb save from Hooper denied Ferdinand a deserved second goal when he turned and smashed a volley goalwards in broken play on the edge of the penalty area.

It would have been an absolute travesty had Ferdinand not ended the game on the winning team. And a travesty is almost what transpired. Three minutes into time added on at the end of the game by referee Keith Hackett, Clive Wilson conceded possession sloppily in his own half in a challenge with Rob Lee. Lee Clark fed the ball in behind Wilson to Steve Watson and his cross was blocked out for a corner by the chest of Rangers’ captain Alan McDonald.

Except the assistant referee, Roger Furnandiz of Doncaster, did not agree that it had hit McDonald’s chest. In fact he thought the Northern Ireland international had handled the ball deliberately and put his flag across his chest to signal a penalty. McDonald’s reaction said it all — initial bewilderment turned to absolute fury and he had to be restrained by both Clive Wilson and Ray Wilkins as his temper boiled over with the officials. It remains, to this day, a scandalous decision.

Malcolm Allen, scorer of a fine goal earlier in the game, took the kick himself and planted it firmly to goalkeeper Jan Stejskal’s left. The Czech World Cup stopper read the direction perfectly though and palmed the ball away with two hands to send the away end absolutely wild. The final whistle sounded almost as soon as the ball had left Stejskal’s gloves and he was immediately besieged by his team mates. Justice had been done.

Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan said afterwards: “I thought the display up front by Ferdinand was as good as I’ve ever seen and certainly my back four couldn’t handle him on the day. It really emphasised what England missed on Wednesday because I don’t think I’ve ever seen, in 90 minutes, a player win every header he went up for — but that’s what he did.”

QPR finished ninth in the Premiership that season and Ferdinand finished with 18 goals. A year and a half later Keegan bought him for £6m and was desperately unlucky not to be rewarded with a Premiership title — the Magpies went 12 points clear in 1995/96 but were roped in by Manchester United and lost out. Without Ferdinand QPR were relegated from the Premiership that season and have only just made it back.

As a further sidenote the linesman that day Mr Furnandiz graduated to a fully fledged Football League referee thereafter. He took charge of QPR only once, at Grimsby Town in the First Division in 1999 when Gerry Francis was again the manager. Chris Kiwomya gave the R’s a deserved first half lead but they returned to London pointless after Furnandiz this time awarded two very harsh penalties against the Londoners in the second half — both converted by Lee Ashcroft. He is now the chairman of the Doncaster and District Referees Society. And is more than likely still an absolute twat.

Connections

Darren Peacock >>> QPR 1990-1994 >>> Newcastle 1994-1998

Les Ferdinand is still the best known export from Loftus Road to St James’ Park, but two years before his £6m move the R’s also sold centre back Darren Peacock to Kevin Keegan’s side for a fee in the region of £2.7m.

Peacock was originally taken from lower league Hereford by QPR in 1990 at a time of great crisis at Loftus Road. Danny Maddix, Paul Parker and Alan McDonald all suffered long term injuries at the same time and manager Don Howe had run so low on centre halves he’d been reduced to loaning the terminally useless Gus Caesar from his former club Arsenal.

Without a win in ten matches and in the bottom three of the old First Division Howe brought Bobby Gould in as his new assistant manager and Gould’s little black book immediately turned up two prospects from the lower divisions who could come in and solve the centre half crisis. Andy Tilson from Grimsby Town was one, Darren Peacock from Hereford for £200,000 was the other.

Peacock was, it’s fair to say, an unconventional looking player with a long straggly barnet draped across his shoulders throughout his time with Rangers and Newcastle. He was also fairly accident prone, often falling over inexplicably at the worst possible moment and costing his team a goal. But as the Premier League era dawned and Gerry Francis made Rangers the top London club in the country Peacock blossomed into a very fine top flight centre back.

He was the Player of the Year elect in 1994 when chairman Richard Thompson - as he did with Paul Parker, Andy Sinton and so many QPR stars at the time — authorised his sale to Newcastle for £2.7m. Gerry Francis was forced to muddle through with youth team centre half Karl Ready as his replacement and QPR endured a torrid run of just two wins from their final ten matches of the season as a result. That run included big defeats against Oldham (4-1), Leeds (4-0), Sheff Wed (3-1) and Swindon Town who only won five matches all season but picked up their only away success of the campaign, and completed a humiliating double over QPR, when they won 3-1 at Loftus Road. Francis resigned midway through the following season, tired of Thompson’s methods.

At Newcastle, Peacock was also part of the side that was pipped by Man Utd to the title in 1995/96. He moved on to Blackburn in 1998 and although he clocked up the thick end of 50 appearances there a chronic back problem forced him into early retirement after a brief loan spell with Wolves where he came close to paralysing himself in a clash with his own goalkeeper Michael Oakes.

Now manager of non-league side Lancaster City with Trevor Sinclair as his assistant.

I can still remember sitting behind the goal at the Baseball Ground for that Xmas game and looking at Peacock and his hair, thinking what on earth is that? Pre internet and such different times. I'd never heard of him or Andy Tilson. Seemed more enjoyable then though I'm sure it probably wasn't it!

"He is now the chairman of the Doncaster and District Referees Society. And is more than likely still an absolute tw*t. " - Never a truer word spoken, this still makes me angry to this day. When Stejskal saved the penalty that was the only time I ever saw him pumped up, he did have a rather nonchalant air about him.

THAT day at SJP was the greatest football moment of my life until Wembley this year. As someone born and bred in the North East, Newcastle has always been my rival team in the way Chelscum are for most of you, especially after Sir John Hall brought in Keegan and 20k extra fans who hadn't given a f**k about football before. I came home from Uni for the match but could only get a ticket in the Gallowgate home end, right near the front. I managed to keep my loyalties under wraps (a jumper in this case) until the penalty save at the end, right in front of me, when I let out a guttural scream and whipped the jumper off to show off the blue and white hoops! The stunned silence that greeted this action gave me the valuable seconds to run off up the stairs to safety. Amazing game!

That was a fantastic day at Newcastle - only 21 years ago! I remember geting pelted with coins after the final whistle. I picked up a 10p piece and offered it to one of the many coppers who were surrounding us, as evidence. He just said, "Whay ay, put it in your pocket and shut up, man." Then the usual Newcastle post-match ritual of being frog-marched to the station, whether we wanted to get the train back to London or not.

That ground has changed so much in recent years, I don't know which end it was we were standing on. Anyone know where it is, in relatiopn to where we'll be on Saturday?


The ground has changed so much since then - can anyone tell me where

Last time the 93 game was featured on here, I dug out a pic of us all in the away section (taken by my geordie missus from the home section). Can't find it now or I'd post it...did email it to Clive, but he'd have to have a pretty impressive filing system to locate it....

My memory of the pen is that it probably did at least partly hit Macca's arm, but his arm was at his side, and it was point blank, it was a dreadful, desperate decision. But what a day!
