50Years Ago - Sept 7 1971 48 47 years ago today, Gordon Jago's QPR vs Birmingham in the League Cup and it was billed as the two Francises: Trevor Francis then the "New Jimmy Greaves" 16 year old superstar at Birmingham, versus QPR's Gerry Francis (who then was just a good young QPR player - not anywhere near that stardom) QPR won 2-0 and I seem to remember Gerry Francis scored one |

Nostalgia!50 Years Ago Today - "The Battle of the Two Francises"- 50 Years Ago Today (September 7, 1971) Gordon Jago's promotion challenging QPR played promotion challenging Birmingham in the Football League Cup opening round. QPR had the emerging Gerry Francis. Birmingham had "The New Jimmy Greaves" - Trevor Francis, the previous season had emerged with 15 goals in 15 games. QPR won 2-0 with Gerry Francis and Rodney Marsh scoring before a 15,000+ crowd. QPR's Team Parkes Clement Hazell Hunt Gillard Busby Francis Venables McCulloch Marsh Saul Six home growns; one non-league; two bargain buys... And who would have guessed the two Francises would both subsequently manage QPR [QPR eventually went out of the cup to Bristol Rovers away after drawing at home] qprreport.blogspot.com/2006/09/nostalgia-35-years-ago-today-battle-of.html

I was there!
Once again, Gerry proved what a great player he was.
Trevor, first million pound player. Gerry, prior to his back injury (thank you Mick Mills) priceless!

You might have gone out of sync Mac. If the game was in 1971, that's only 44 years ago.

Why has our youth team not produced regular first teamers? have over the last 20 years dropped the bar too low? |
