QPR Official Site, September 30, 1997 - HOUSTON WINS TOP AWARD RANGERS manager Stewart Houston has been awarded the Nationwide Division 1 Manager of the Month award for SeptemberStewart guided the R's to a four match winning run, which saw them move into second place in the League. Rangers beat Reading, West Brom, Crewe and Portsmouth before coming unstuck at Port Vale on Saturday. Stewart said today: " I'm very pleased to accept this award. The players have made it happen for me. I was a bit surprised to get this accolade, but it's all credit to the players." The Division 2 award went to Ian Atkins of Northampton and the Division 3 Award to Sam Allardyce of Notts County. Ten years ago today QPR Official Site: September 30, 2000 - Sheffield United 1 QPR 1 LEE HARPER was the Rangers hero at Bramall Lane after he saved two penalties in a frantic second half. Harper saved a well-hit Paul Devlin penalty midway through the second period after referee Chris Foy harshly adjudged Clarke Carlisle to have handled a David Kelly shot. However, Foy insisted that the spot-kick be re-taken after Rangers' players were encroaching in the area. "I told myself I was going to save the second penalty," said Harper afterwards. "It was an injustice because we felt aggrieved at the original decision to award a penalty for handball against Clarke. The referee awarded it because the linesman did but the ref was closer. Then he ordered it to be re-taken and I was determined to stop it. "It does fire you up and when I saved the first one I thought he would put it the same way again and he did. I think perhaps he thought I was thinking that he would go the other way. It was about mind games and I was really pleased to save it." The Blades went in at half-time with a deserved 1-0 lead when Shaun Murphy headed home a Paul Devlin cross on 37 minutes. Devlin almost extended his side's lead with a header that hit the post on the stroke of half-time as the home side dominated. Gerry Francis decided to start the game with a 4-3-3 formation and in the second period Rangers started much the brighter side a were rewarded with Sammy Koejoe having a great chance to cut the deficit but he took too long to get his shot in and Murphy recovered to block the effort. The Dutchman atoned for that miss seven minutes into the half when he held off two challenges to fire past Simon Treacy for his first goal of the season. Peter Crouch went close late on for the R's but overall a draw was fair result.
