On This Day in 1972:
Rodney Marsh's last game for QPR: March 4, 1972 away to Bristol City. QPR lost 0-2
Parkes - Clement Hazell Mancini Gillard - Francis Busby Hunt - Marsh O'Rourke Mcculloch Sub Leach
(Note 7 "home growns" in the 12 - and Clement, Hazell, Hunt and Leach along with Watson were playing for QPR when Marsh joined)
The Bristol City programme cover had an Apostrophe for Queen's Park Rangers
The following week sold to Manchester City
Then March 1972 - Rodney Marsh Left QPR for Manchester City
-
As I wrote a decade ago:
QPR fans (and club) were last week celebrating Forty years since QPR's 1967 League Cup Triumph. But it's also another historic milestone:
Thirty-Five Years Ago: March 1972, all QPR fans were devestated and desolate as Rod...nee was allowed to join Manchester City for £200,000. This was - at the time - thought to be one of the blackest days in QPR history as our just-capped England player (last 8 minute substitute!)
(Of course in hindsight, things turned out a little different. Gordon Jago's QPR went undefeated for the rest of the season - 12 games - and the following season, signed Stan Bowles who, many would say, became even greater than Marsh.)

In all, Marsh scored 106 goals in 211 League Games for QPR. In the 1966/67 season, Marsh was the country's top goalscorer with 44 goals (30 League goals. 11 Legue cup goals. 3 FA cup goals.)
Marsh's QPR Record
1965-66 -16 league games -8 goals
1966-67 - 41 league games - 30 goals
1967-68 - 25 league games - 14 goals
1968-69 - 22 league games - 4 goals
1969-70 - 38 league games- 12 goals
1970-71 - 39 league games - 21 goals
1971-72 -30 league games- 17 goals
Marsh was of course a lot, lot more than just scoring goals. Making goals. Dribbling. Excitement and relationship with fans...
March 1966: Rodney Marsh joined QPR from Fulham.
Then March 19, 1966: Marsh made his debut away to Peterborough. Drew 1-1 and didn't score.
