Couple Excerpts
"...CW: You know what it didn’t, because I didn’t even realise until I got to Rangers that Chelsea were that big a rival! Playing for Chelsea their biggest rivals were always Tottenham so the fans never saw QPR rivals. So I go to QPR then I realised it’s Chelsea! So no, through my ignorance it didn’t really have that much bearing at the time.
The biggest difference I found at the time between the two clubs was QPR was very friendly, more like a family club. With Chelsea there was always a “them and us” factor whereas I found QPR much more homely. Mind you I was starting to settle into London life by then, it was only my fourth year down here by then so I’d probably got used to the Londoners by then.
QPRnet.com: After your move to Spurs you took a bit of stick from the Rangers fans at White Hart Lane, there were chants of “I wanna play for Gerry”. Was that the case, or was the move forced on you?
CW: No it wasn’t really forced. My contract at QPR was coming to an end and at the time there was a rule that if you were over thirty three and you’d been at a club for five years you were entitled to a free transfer, that’s the stage I was at. Gerry obviously knew that from his time at QPR. Honestly and truthfully I never made contact with Gerry, he rang me up in the summer and said “you know why I’m ringing, do you want to come and have a talk?” So I said yes. I went to meet him and he made me an offer which was too good to turn down. It wasn’t just about the money, QPR had offered me similar terms to stay but the big difference was he was offering me an extra year which gave me twelve months more security and at thirty three it was too big a chance for me to say no to. If I had been twenty-five then maybe I wouldn’t have gone but I was in the twighlight of my career and I was given the chance of playing for the biggest club of my career."
