QPR Report: Rodney Marsh Question & Answer Thread
« Thread Started on May 27, 2009, 8:35am »		[Quote]
But I'm not saying they're going to get answered!

And just to be very clear: I don't profess in any way to speak for Rodney Marsh or to make any predictions/promises re postings on this site. Although obviously, hope.

But if there is a thread, and questions it's a good place to put them all.

And maybe, after a while, compile "the best of" and see.

And maybe there are some questions you haven't previously seen asked/answered but which might be of great interest.

So I'll start:
Views of the coaches/managers played under: Who Was You Favourite/best Coach/Manager ? Stock? Allison? Jago? Any of the others at Fulham, QPR or at Tampa

Out of all the players you played with at QPR, who did you like to see in the team alongside you the most and are you still friends with anyone at QPR from your era?

Do you remember that game for Fulham against Hereford and what were your thoughts on a game that seemed to have it all for any football fan to enjoy.

After the league Cup Final fianl whistle, you seemed a bit overcome just before going up for your medal. Was it because of the victory, or because of that sea of QPR fans chanting Rodneee for pretty much most of the match??

Best QPR manager..Alec Stock....best QPR player I played with Gerry Francis, when he was 18/19 and green...he was brilliant ! Just had a cheddar cheese roll and cup tea, watching the French Open by the pool in Tampa.... forgot the last one :) oh ye, would be nice to be a Global Ambassador for the club, especially with my USA contacts. And yes, I remember that Fulham game with great fondess. Playing with Besty and Mooro, sad they're both' brown bread' now !!

Thanks and Welcome!

One question, which I might have better phrased: - Much as you loved QPR, do you think you left QPR too late in your career? Have any regrets about not leaving earlier. Not just in terms of trophies and England caps but in terms of your even greater development - which alternatively, might have stifled your development. (There was a report about how Bill Shankly had wanted to sign you).

He did answer my questions on Sky's "You're On Sky Sports" one evening, even noticed I was a tad worse for wear! :o

When you were playing Rodney, the game was full of colourful charactors, These days it's all about nutrition, workrate and dosh. Do you feel the charactor aspect has been driven out of the game and replaced with sterile cardboard cut outs? I honestly wont mention Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney or any Arsenal players.

For positive examples: you chatting to fans, Lazurus shaking fans hands after scoring, Stanley hiding the ball up his shirt, Francis Lee, Best tackling you etc.

Lastly, just curious, with your expertise, who do you think would make a good manager for the current QPR??

If he had stayed at QPR and not moved to Manchester City, does he think that staying with QPR, might have made the difference between 2nd and 1st place in 75-76 season?

Closest would be Cantona but with more goals and running more with the ball !

No because QPR had an ample replacement in Stan Bowles, who was a magnificent footballer who never got anywhere near the credit he deserved. He was brilliant !

My philosophy is to hire the man to get you to the next level then replace him , and give him a golden handshake . Someone like Alan Curbishley would be my choice...

From Kerrins on Indys

Rodney's overhead kicks..

Does he remember the wonder goal he scored with an overhead kick in the Div 3 game at Loftus Rd against Bristol Rovers(won 4-1) circa Mar/April 1966. One journalist/pundit said to the effect...Rodney Marsh's position was such that he would have needed radar just to determine where the goal was located never mind score.

and what about that late winning goal for Man City against us 1974/75?(1-0) How did he feel about that!.....from my own seat in the North Stand at Maine Rd judging by his celebrations he seemed pretty pleased with himself!

And:

If you had become QPR Manager - Either at the time of Richard Thompson, or at some other time, how do you think would have done? The old great players don't often make great managers. And great forwards often don't make great managers...

I know there's been a history of over who was the better player, but could you imagine how it might have been if we had had both Rodney and Stan in our starting line up?

Like watching that Best/Rodney Fulham clip all over again!

In 2007 there was a opinion poll about the greatest Man Utd player ever. Eric Cantona was voted No !. 80% of the voters had never seen George Best play. So I always thought those type of comparisons are totally redundant. I saw them both many times and Besty was better IMO.

Stan and me would have been a disaster together. I was a ball player, whlie Stan was a ball holder. Huge difference in styles.

Very true...I was never offered the manager's job at QPR. Gerry Francis was the manager and doing very well. I was recruited to be Chief Executive as that had been my role in Tampa for ten years.

I think you always remember great goals. Like the 'offside' bicycle kick goal in the 1967 final. I remember the overhead kick goal for Man City. Tony Hazell had been kicking lumps off me all day so it was great to score such a brilliant winning goal. Don't think Stan played that day.

and what about that late winning goal for Man City against us 1974/75?(1-0) How did he feel about that!.....from my own seat in the North Stand at Maine Rd judging by his celebrations he seemed pretty pleased with himself!

How did you feel when Alec Stock "departed" QPR - Since he'd been reportedly a major influence on you?

And how big a role/impact (if any) did Jim Gregory have on the team or you personally, as a reportedly very "involved/hands on" Chairman?

To summarize a couple of questions I received: What was your impression of the QPR Player of the Year event you recently mcd/ A lot of fans who attended were very unhappy by the way that the players acted/rushed out?

Which fits into the broader question of "your" generation versus the current generation of footballers...Obviously massive more money. Agents involved, etc.

Forget the money aspects for a moment, but do you'd have developed into a totally different kind of player, if you'd been a player coming into the game today: On the one hand, more physical development, better nutrition, etc. On the other, more control, less willing to leave to flair, etc. A rather broad topic!

I was very disappointed at that too. I thought they coud have stayed for 30 mins for photos. But it's a different breed of player today. No one puts the club first anymore !!! Many players used to in fact I probably could have signed for a bigger club three years before I eventually joine dMan City !
