Thanks, a good read but
"Waddock’s first permanent management role was at Aldershot in 2007"

How did i not know this story, or have any vague awareness of the circumstances? Pre-Internet days i guess ….... Hugely interesting piece.
Charlton always was a bit of a cock. Interesting he put this mistake at the top of the list, ahead of orchestrating the throwing away of a four goal lead at HQ 7 years earlier |  | | |

Such a pity Gary got that injury. Brilliant for us as a youngster. |  | | |

Reading that brought back memories of that World cup.
I was 13 and on a School trip in Brittany and we watched game in a bar and when Platt scored against Belgium we cheered and the French locals went Shhhhhh.
Good times. |  |

P!ss-poor management from a really awful manager. |  | | |

Wasn't the reason we let him leave was we got the insurance payout for his injury? |  | | |

Interesting read. Firmly in the top rung of my all tIme QPR Heroes. A very, Very fine player and his personality shone with burning bright magnesium wonder in the 82 cup final.
i recall Alan McLoughlin being a reasonable player at swindon but not fit to lace waddocks jockstrap, if it needed lacing, in any shape or form. [Post edited 24 Mar 2018 13:56]

Such a shame that his time as manager coincided with the height of Paladini's mentalness. |  | | |

Waddock was one of my favs i was there when he done his knee against sheff wed in a boring 1-1 , terry fenwick was asked to take over in midfield and didnt want to do it because he thought he wouldnt get in the england 86 world cup squad , i remember him and peter hucker walking around the wembley pitch waving towards the QPR fans at the milk cup final he look gutted not to be playing , i was gutted when he left |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I met Waddock in the team hotel in Valetta, Malta after we qualified for that World Cup. I was very shy but I wanted to chat to him and after I told him I was Rangers we had a great old chat, him, me, my dad and my brother. Later I gave out yards to Jack Charlton who was always an arrogant bollix and was certainly one that night.
Waddock wasn't the only man wronged by Charlton. Even Brady got shafted. |  |

GW was a f.....g great player, that shone out in a midfield that had Tony Currie and John Gregory in it.
Typical player you only truly appreciate when he's not playing and we didn't really see his likes around these here parts until the Lord rolled in to town with that quiet assertiveness around the park.
As said above, immense in the 82 Finals. |  |

He used to always chat to the fans during games when he came over to take throw ins or corners. A quality player until that awful unlucky injury. | | | |

I seem to recall Gary nutmegging an opponent in our penalty area, then stopping the ball with his foot resting on top of it & saluting the crowd.
Did this really happen OR is it my memory playing tricks on me?
Anyway, he is one of my favourite all time Rangers players & would have been the perfect partner for Francis & Masson. | | | |

I used to see him regularly on the Yeading Green estate in Northolt - a very pleasant and friendly bloke - no airs or graces. |  |
