Edit/Bump
41 years ago, (Oct 7, 1980) it was QPR 0 Orient 0 (Orient with Stan Bowles)...and after the game - and ostensibly after some Tommy Docherty post-match comments (or just possibly cos QPR were struggling!)...The Doc was out...

And a week Later: Terry Venables (AND TEAM!) were in...

(Just a shame the Doc wasnt out in the summer before Allen and Goddard were sold)

And Docherty's last team against Bowles' Orient
Gate: just over 9,600

Woods
Gillard Wicks Roeder Shanks
MCreery King Currie Waddock
Langley Neal

Including Response by Chairman Jim Gregory to charges that QPR Players were unfit!

I remember my Mum telling me and my reply was 'Good! He sold Goddard so I'm glad he's gone!' 30 years later and my opinion has not changed.
