And for Balance 20 Years since Jim Smith Took Over & 40 years since the season in which Rodney joined QPR

It's 20 Years since Jim Smith took over QPR and in his first season, the 1985/86 season, took QPR on a brilliant cup run to Wembley in the League Cup. All went well till the Final where QPR lost 0-3 to Oxford....

And it's Forty Years since QPR began the 1965/1966 season. We didn't win promotion, but in March 1966, it all began: Rodney Marsh signed for QPR...

A Decade since we began our Relegation season....THIRTY years since the onset of our "Championship" Season

THIRTY years ago since Hollins joined & the onset of QPR's 1975/76 "Championship" Season

It's 30 years ago since Dave Sexton's QPR were getting ready for their 1975/1976 "Championship" season, signing John Hollins and playing pre-season in Europe.

It's a Decade since Ferdinand & Wilson left...Osborne and Zelic came...and the terrible 95/96 season was about to begin!

It's a decade since our slide began: Summer of 1995: QPR sell Les Ferdinand to Newcastle for 6 million; and have Clive Wilson "taken" by Spurs.And QPR sign Simon Osborn and Ned Zelik (and also Greg Goodridge). Within a few months, QPR also signed Mark Hateley and Jurgen Sommer!
