Citing the new Stanley Bowles Stand, the club are looking to honour other club legends and asking fans to name their top 5 (excluding Stan). www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/choose-your-qpr-legends-121022/Will be interesting to see who gets named, whether the old guard 60s/70's players will win through or those from more recent times...

i hope it'll be a mixture but one that doesn't demean the word legend as its a word too often thrown about. only issue with that is it makes it pretty hard to think of many players from the past 20 years who've spent their peaks, and then some, with us.
only one that really springs to mind is adel taarabt but he was arguebly a 1 season-and-a-half wonder. he resonates more with me personally than say, rodney marsh, who's well before my time.
difficult choices though as whilst our heyday is from the 60s-90s we have to appeal to our younger audience with players they already know and who they can look up on youtube in HD.
i know that the club are only going to be honouring 5 players but i think it'd be good to have 10 or so.
we all know the obvious 6 or 7 players who could make that list and it'd be difficult missing one of them out for the likes of taarabt, derry, hill or even zamora imo.

Holloway (manager) Warnock
I have to go from my time, I am 33 so never saw bowles etc.
Gallen Bircham Cook Maddix Taraabt
Prob should have Faurlin, Shittu, Hill and Derry in there.
Zamora scored the goal but other than that, I don't think of him as a legend, he just had a legendary moment.

You have to inc Rodney Marsh - before my time but widely seen as on a par with Stan.
Plus Gerry Francis - how many England captains have we had?
Other three more down to personal preference.
Les TC Roeder
But as others have said hard to leave out Adel

If elerslie wasn’t named after Stan cd name it after Ernie Howe as he kicked it out over the roof there so many time - back in the days when “playing it from the back” sounded v suspect
