Ahead of Southampton's visit to Shepherd's Bush on Wednesday, LFW looks back to the first ever Premier League game at Loftus Road which featured these two teams and a blistering David Bardsley free kick.

How’s there no comments on this?? One of the best Rangers teams ever and written just as I remember it as a kid who thought it would always be like this…

Bardsley was unbelievable for us once he got over his initial jitters.

Thanks Clive!

Edit: also amazing that a smaller crowd used to watch that team than the standard home crowd watching dross nowadays. 11k in the prem!

Was at that game and in Paris the next morning where I got a "urrrrs" in a metro station and had to give a match report to the guy. Good times.

Ok then, here is my comment.

I was at this game and remember it vividly. What a free kick that was. The ball was still rising as it hit the back of the net. Am I right in thinking Pierre van Hooijdonck (spelling?) did a similar one for Forest that season? Also at the Loft end.
