Edit/Bump

On This Day in 1969:

Vic Mobley makes his QPR Debut in our 4-0 home win over Middlesbrough
Big money signing (50,000 pounds) for Sheff Wed's former England U-23 Center Half

Finally we had a REAL Center Half..Big, tall, strong - Looked like a center half...Unfortunately...!

Profile - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vic_Mobley

"....P.R. are suing Sheffield W. over the transfer of Vic Mobley. They paid 55,000 pounds for him, but shortly after the deal in 1969, Mobley had to give up football on medical advice .."

And the QPR Team for that 4-0 (Bridges 2, Clarke, Clement)
[Might be wrong, but I think that was a later-show-on-TV game, in which Marsh on the edge of the area, back to goal bounced the ball up/down, up/down, up/down - overhead kick on to Bridges or Clarke to score.

Spratley
Clement Hazell Mobley Watson
Ian Morgan Venables Leach
Marsh Clarke Bridges

Please mac, stop mentioning the worst signing that Queens Park Rangers ever made! Yes, for you youngsters, give me Bosingwa or anybody over Bloody Victor Mobley!

The mere mention of his name reminds me of why I have suffered depression in my life!

Time for me to open a bottle!
