How many years do you think a player needs to play for QPR to become a QPR legend.Where would Charlie Austin rate.I believe if he had been at QPR for another couple of seasons he would have been in that category.You have your real legends like Rodney Marsh,Stan Bowles,Gerry Francis etc Then you have the likes of Kevin Gallen,I sort of even regard the likes of Gino Padula as a bit QPR legend.In the end it is where a great player makes his name at one particular club.I suppose you could grade it like grade 1 legends ie Marsh,Bowles,Francis etc Grade 2 legends Padula etc then great players ie Charlie Austin that don't fit the legend category.

Fenwick was my favorite player when i was a lad. He's a QPR legend in my house. I never saw Bowles or Marsh so i just accept they are legends based on what i've been told and the history books. Macdonald,Ferdinand,Sinton,Parker,Holloway are up there for me. The more recent ones Ainsworth,Hill, Taarabt(sorry but that season was immense),Faurlin. Regarding Zamora,i agree with a post above ,that he's not a legend but the moment and occasion was legendary. Austin will be a legend for my kids probably as is Mackie.

I wonder whether we are likely to have a 'legend' again. With the rise of player power, the money in the game, the lack of loyalty, the lack of identity, I would favour it being unlikely to happen. There is a greater chance of unearthing a club legend if we slip lower down the leagues where the real football is played. I think it more likely then to get a long-serving player who is playing for the badge.

Glenn Roeder. Brilliant captain and role model. The most elegant CB we had and a mentor for me when I was a youth team player. I said I would buy the team a drink if they made the FA cup final in 82. Not that they drank the night before but Glenn called me at 8pm the night before and got Curry, Fenwick, Hucker and Allen to say hi. Class act.

Oi, r'SWiPe should be in the very front of the "bell ends" nominations. And Redknobb is front of Hughes too.
You are spot-on sir. I knew there would be many I'd missed. I'm embarrassed to have missed those two. SWP and Rednob, BELL_ENDS of the highest order, in fact OBEs indeed.
A legend is whoever you decide is a legend. There's no formal qualification. It's whoever you feel sums up the spirit and attitude of the club. Whoever makes you smile when you think of them, remembering someone who made going to Loftus Road at 3 on a Saturday seem less a duty than a pleasure. Someone whose replacement, whoever it is, can never live up to what came before. They might have played one golden season when they were at the heart of the team. They might have played 15 years and never caught the eye, just been there, becoming part of the fabric of QPR. It's up to you you. There's no wrong answer on this one.

If we are talking about fondness and love then yes he is a legend. You can talk about how he left us for what we paid for him all you want.
However, look back on he done for our club. His goals helped us get promoted. Without him we would be in our third year in the championship or quite possibly second year in league 1.
He could have followed the money to Leicester or whoever came in for him during the summer but believed like the rest of the squad and some fans we could get promoted. So he stayed to try and make that happen.
Something happened between November and December that made him and the board realise we are not going up so did what he thought was best for him and the club and left with a fee and add ons.
You wouldn't get many players doing that in today's game they would have been off in August so for that and everything else he did, for me he is a legend. Not in the same vain as Marsh, Bowels or Francis but in the same Way I see Lee Cook, Abdel Tarrabt and Shaun Derry. I loved watching him in a QPR shirt and feel privileged to have helped his career. Absolutely a legend!!
Hold on a second, is Shaun Derry a QPR legend now too!? Hahaha. We've been so worn down with awful players with stinky attitudes that decent players that put in a bit of effort are remembered as Titans.
I went to my first QPR game in 86 so Marsh and Bowles were before my time, so the legends of my lifetime are Alan McDonald, Les Ferdinand, Lee Cook, Kevin Gallen and at a push Charlie Austin and Ale Faurlin.

Marsh - for putting this club on the map, being the first number 10, scoring in the league cup final and helping this club get to the 1st division
Francis- England captain, QPR captain of the 75/76 team that should of won the league , bar injury would have been even better , also managed the club in to dizzy heights under the little sh1t that is Thompson
Bowles, - the nearest thing bar Francis & Thomas to having a world class player at Rangers, he sums up what QPR is about , no one will get close to him again
Venables- , good player but transformed the club as a manager Div 2 champions,fa cup finalists , who knows what would of happened to this club if he had stayed as manager
Dave Sexton- a coach a head of his time, managed the club to within a whisker of the big one an early teacher to venables, we were so unlucky the season after in the UEFA cup if we were into days format we would have probably got to the final
Tony ingham- most appearances and Director of the club
Macca- see above, stayed loyal to Rangers when he could have had the pick of clubs in the 80s and 90's he was Mr QPR, deserved to win a host of medals in his career
Warnock- kept us up in the most shambolic of seasons, then transformed the club into champions the next , that's a miracle , he is the only manager to get anything out of the enigma that is Adel , we were unbeaten all the way to Xmas, we had the points fiasco the constant upheaval in the boardroom but still delivered a title winning team
Jim Gregory, transformed the club from a 3rd division team with a ramshackle stadium to a 1st division team, 3 cup finals, near champion winning team, also pioneered the plastic pitch, made Loftus road a state of the art stadium
these are legends men who have contributed to QPR, made a difference, put us on the map , I love players like Derry, Cook, Birch, Gallen , shittu, rowlands, but they are not legends they are not even close to Wegerle, fenwick, Allen, Stainrod, Byrne, Parker , Thomas , Lazarus, Keen , Parkes
the term is branded around to much these days, seriously how can you have Booby Zamora as a club legend , some fans need to read up on there history
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

'Legend' status, for me, seems to transcend the club and is the player that other teams would, however grudgingly, accept that they'd have loved to have at their clubs.
Marsh Bowles Ferdinand Francis
'Cult' status is much more of an in-house thing. Can't imagine other clubs going gooey in the fork for Padula, Big Dan, Cookie and the like. Even Gallen and Bircham. I think Chaz is definitely a cult hero - if he goes on to great things, we might think of him in the same way as we do Sir Les.
'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'

You cant have Taarabt in the bellend list. Marsh should be in the bellend list then.
I stuck Adel in there because he woke up one day and decided he couldn't be arsed to work hard enough to help the team, in the PL especially. We could have built a team to stay in the league around him. With his attitude and waste of talent, he's both icon and bell-end in equal measure. As for Marsh, well I agree he's a total bell-end, but not in a way that has affected QPR in terms of playing or management. Gerry never like him but I think it was Les being sold, not Marsh's presence, that caused Gerry to leave back in '94.
