[Edit/Update: Turns 50!]

One of those "unsung" QPR players

Gary Micklewhite turns 50 today. Born March 21, 1961

One of those "unsung" heroes...

Micklewhite was signed from Manchester United on a free transfer by Tommy Docherty but was given his chance by Terry Venables. Micklewhite was a substitute for Clive Allen in the FA Cup Final and played in the replay.

He got the last-minute 5th goal in QPR's magical 5-5 draw against Newcastle in 1984-1985.

And certainly not in QPRs' history if the linesman had got it right!

He and McCreery were good aquisitions by Docherty, Hill was a waste, well past his used by date.

I stand by what I said - a very under-rated and under-estimated player for QPR.
