Reply | The Top 10 QPR players who didn't play for QPR
at 10:01 31 Oct 2026
I was reading about Maurice Doyle on Wiki, and the similar searches at the bottom had Jimmy Carter (surely been mentioned?) and Bobby Bowry. I dimly remember him as a skinny, lanky Palace player but he played many more games later for Millwall and Colchester, well over 300 league games in total. I never knew he was another QPR junior, never made the first team. |

I remember a furore on here when we released an academy striker called Ricky Sappleton, when he went on to have a trial at Liverpool before signing for Leicester. According to Wiki, he played on game for them, had lots of loans and a spell at Macclesfield, then nearly a decade circling the M25 in non-league. |

It was. It is amazing how many of the principals are still going, but perhaps it was because I was so young when I saw it that I thought they were older than they actually were. I rewatched it recently and Bernard Hill was in it for about two minutes, he’s the soldier that finds Claudius hiding after the murder of Caligula and declares him Emperor. He only died two years ago.
Mrs S saw Siân Phillips at the Orange Tree in Richmond last year. She shuffled on, drawled an approximation of her lines, and had the audience eating out of her hand. |

The curse of I, Claudius strikes again. Only Derek Jacobi, Brian Blessed, Siân Phillips and Christopher Biggins to go.
He was in Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation, acting out some Shakespeare. In 1969. [Post edited 29 Oct 23:37]

Reaching down a few leagues, Carlisle beat Harrogate 3-0, despite having nine men for the last hour. And we don’t have to give Mark Hughes any of the credit. |

That reminds me of a piece in the News Quiz from the second Gulf War. The Army had issued a briefing about Basra, describing it as a port city, similar to Southampton. A squaddie complained, “It’s a dirty, smelly dump, the whores are ugly and everyone’s trying to kill us. It’s much more like Portsmouth.” |

RIP Ted. I never met the man, but I always enjoyed his posts (particularly about Reading!), a passionate man with a lively mind. Condolences to his family on a great loss. |

Great line from someone, Arsenal’s first defeat at Highbury since 2006. |

What reason do you have for doubting the honesty of DCI Mickey Boyle? [Post edited 27 Oct 21:34]

Maybe we should send a scout down to the next Ridgeway Rovers Under 10s game. One of their midfielders may be open to offers. [Post edited 28 Oct 8:43]

I find any awards show boring, but the hype and excitement around the Ballon d’Or is especially knob-chapping, considering football has sufficient prize-giving as it is…won on the pitch. |
