And briefly QPR could in theory field a forward line of Thomas, Bowles and Rogers. - Unforunately it didn't work out. He played 18 games, scoring 5 goals in the 1974/75 season and played no games during QPR's 1975/76 Championship season.

Bobby Keetch.
IMO the hardest man to have ever worn the hoops.
The amount of opponents he left writhing on the ground without being seen was legendly.
He was one of the owners of Football Football & that establishment didn't seem to survive his death.
