....ever played for QPR. I'm afraid to admit this has happened to me on a number of occasions, thought it might be senile dementia, but it's nothing more than sitting at the back of the class and falling asleep.

Wasn't the Gus Caesar game the 3-2 home win vs Sunderland in a monsoon?

To this day I have not seen a more shambolic performance, which is really saying something after 27 more years of watching Rangers.

Still, he made the game a nail biting classic and we never looked back that season.


http://www.worldfootball.net/teams/queens-park-rangers/1991/3/

He played in both, it seems.

I think his legend has grown. He was shaky on his debut at Wimbledon but we had a good enough team then on a bad losing run and totally bereft of confidence. I don't remember thinking that he cost us the game.

Seems he played five games for us.

In my mind he will always be associated with this piece from 'Fever Pitch'. Hornby nails it, and the logic extends to all sportspeople, musicians, artists etc - they're not "crap", they're brilliant by our standards, just not at the level you want them to be.

Except for the lazy ones. They get no mercy.

"To get where he did, Gus Caesar clearly had more talent than nearly everyone of his generation... and it still wasn't quite enough. [...] Gus must have known he was good, just as any pop band who has ever played the Marquee know they are destined for Madison Square Garden and an NME front cover, and just as any writer who has sent off a completed manuscript to Faber and Faber knows that he is two years away from the Booker. You trust that feeling with your life, you feel the strength and determination it gives you coursing through your veins like heroin... and it doesn't mean anything at all."

He played in a home massacre in the League Cup against Leeds too. We were a laughing stock.

Some more which I don't think have come up yet (or have they?):
- Simon Barker
- Scott Donnelly
- Josh Parker
- Angelo Balanta
- Matt Hill
- Tommy Doherty - It nearly drove me mad trying to remember his name. I could recall how he played, where he played, when he played for us, and some anecdotes about him, but not his actual name. It took me hours to access the cobwebbed part of my brain in which his name was lurking.

Simon Barker played for us 350 times over ten years. Only twelve players have played more games for us.

How did you forget him?

Terry McQuade? Seth Vafiadis? Dick Whittaker? Malcolm Graham? Pat Brady? Ray Brady ?.....1962, 1963, 64. Truly shockingly awful players ........ but such a lot of fun to watch along with Brian Bedford scoring off every part of his body but his feet.

Beam me back to the three bob terracing please.


Seth Vafiadis ran a barbers, along with his brother, opposite the Adelaide for donkeys years. John Hair Fashions. Used to go there all the time. Quick and cheap and he's always p!ssed off with something.

Got charged with murder a couple of years ago after a road rage incident. He was acquitted.

Good point, apologies for the senior moment there.

I meant *Chris* Barker. He is definitely less memorable!

Steve Burke.

He always seemed to be number 12 when I first started going as a kid, but I have no memory at all of seeing him actually on the pitch.

Ian Muir was another "perma-sub" in those days as well. In those days subs only really came on if somebody got injured so you never saw them.

Another one from that game was Brian Laws, had the makings of a great centre back until a toe injury finished his career


I met Brian Laws in India in 1993 when we were both out there "finding ourselves" with the help of beads, sandals and copious amounts of hash. I think he'd had to retire due to injury.

He was a nice guy, always wondered what happened to him

If you look back on this thread you will find that Steve Burke has already been mentioned.

You will also see that he came on as sub in the'82 final replay.

Don’t know if he’s already been mentioned but David McCreery is often overlooked although he spent two seasons at Loftus Road. All action midfield tackler. A sort of Jack Russel terrier in blue and white hoops.

Strong and stable my arse.
