Bump/edit another year

Former QPR Player, Coach & Acting Manager, John Hollins, Turns 75
Happy Birthday!

Born July 16, 1946

Signed from Chelsea by Dave Sexton in June 1975, Hollins was an integral part of QPR's 1975/76 "Championship" Winning Team (primarily alternating a position between himself and Mick Leach). And the following three seasons, Hollins moving between midfield with some games as central defender.

After QPR's relegation, Hollins was set to stay at QPR and then changed his mind and joined Arsenal...and then subsequently Chelsea as player coach.

In the mid-1980s, QPR attempted to take Hollins from Chelsea to manage them. That failed... A few years, back Hollins was coach at QPR and became Acting manager. Last seen leaving a non-league team (forget which)

Always interesting to hear what the sons of QPR players (or others associated with the club) are doing.

Very polite and obliging to fans. I dont care he played for Chelsea, I still think very highly of him.

But still great for QPR in the mid-1970s
