Bump/Edit a year

45 ago tomorrow...

October 17, 1970: Andy McCulloch made his debut and scored as Rodney Marsh scored a Hatrick for Les Allen's QPR (a couple of months before Allen was axed) vs Birmingham (and the game was shown on "The Big Match" the next day!-

McCulloch: Signed by Les Allen from non-league Walton & Hersham, Center forward Andy McCulloch made his debut in QPR's home game in place of Frank Saul vs Birmingham, October 17, 1970.

Marsh got a brilliant hattrick as QPR won 5-2 vs a good Birmingham team.

QPR's team that day: Parkes, Clement, Hazell, Watson, Gillard. Ferguson Venables Hunt Morgan Marsh McCulloch. (

In QPR's previous home game, a brilliant Martyn Busby playing up front had led QPR to a 5-1 at home to Orient.) McCulloch was eventually sold to Oxford for 45,000 pounds in 1972, and he became a prolific goalscorer in the lower leagues.

He did'nt get paid for that debut match as he was still registered as an amateur, his professional registration coming through a few days later.
