Thanks to Norfolt for this one. Feel free to let rip, we've got nothing else to do...

Thanks Mel.

Some surprises in that eleven, but who are any of us to disagree?

Would have had Bannister in there purely for a certain two hat tricks against the scum, not sure who Mel would have left out though!

Boris Johnson's had less dilemmas to deal with than I had selecting these.

That was really interesting and thought-provoking, Mel.

The only one I might quibble with would be Faurlin. As great as he was - and I have him in my team of my lifetime, Faurlin had less impact because of his injuries than he would have had otherwise. Wilkins was imperious for us over five years, shaped the culture of our club, brought existing players to new levels and young players to rarified heights. He, as much as Howe or Francis, led us to one of the greatest eras in our history.

I'd give him the shout. And he'd be captain.

Yeh love Faurlin and love Mel, but Wilkins all the way.

Thanks for this Mel. It's refreshing to hear about some of the less well known ex-QPR players, at least to me.

I'd have to agree with Brian that Wilkins would have to be shoehorned in the team for me. I just loved watching him play.

One other thing: surely you were joking about Mark Hughes as manager? Yes, you must be, that would be likely nominating Hately or Dowie as our best strikers. Just no.

Nice choice in Lintott though, to be fair, never seen him play.

Got me thinking are there any positions where we haven’t provided an England international?
Centre forward possibly (assuming Stan’s a no. 10, Italy withstanding).

Les covers that position, Steve.

Just refreshed my memory by looking up Evelyn Lintott and it seems he only played 32 games for us between 1907 and 1908 and played for England seven times between 1908 and 1909.

I appreciate the significance of him being our first International player (or English International, certainly) but 32 appearances in one or two seasons, I think, would put him below many other worthy candidates in my view.

Sorry Brian but he may well have stayed for longer if Rangers weren't stiffed by the Football League and elected in 1908.
Not just dying on the Somme but being the first footballer to be commissioned during the war.
I couldn't ignore sixty years of history.

Not many of us who can remember Reg Allen these days but I can assure everyone that he fully deserves to be included among the Ranger's greats. Was worthy of an England cap which sadly never came his way. My first Ranger's hero.

Well I've limited my team to who I've seen play, so in particular, no Rodney for me

1. Phil Parkes
2. Dave Clement
3. Clive Wilson (scoring the goal that put Liverpool to bed at Anfield clinched it!)
4. Paul Parker
5. Macca
6. Ray Wilkins
7. Dave Thomas
8. Gerry Francis
9 Les
10. Stan
11. Andy Impey

I admit I was a little surprised that Mel had overlooked Jamie Mackie

By all accounts Bert Addinall wasn't bad either. My uncle used to say' Addinall 'ad 'em all.'

Fair point about him leaving in 1908 due to us being done by the League, I'd forgotten that.

I personally wouldn't factor military matters into judgement about who our best eleven players were, though. It shouldn't be a factor.

And after his one season with us he seems to have played for Bradford in the first division for four years, finishing fifth once and winning the FA Cup in 2011. At the age of 28 he dropped down a division to Leeds City and at 29, in 1913, his records disappear.

He must have played somewhere after that.

very good analysis, and wouldn't knock any of that team.....even though mine would be different...not by much though.
it just goes to prove that it is double hard to pick the top eleven from over 100 years.
we all have different views for whatever reasons.

we are all experts...not managers.

Poll: how many games this season....home/away.

Your uncle was right. 110 percent at all times. Remember seeing him give the great John Charles one hell of a game from my position in the boys' enclosure behind the goal at the Loftus road end.

Wilkins blotted his copybook with me/us by getting us relegated and picking himself too much.
Faurlin pre-injury won the fifty fiftys better than Ray too.
I don't have to explain myself but I'm trying. Very.

That was a team in decline though as the previous season they only won one of the first eleven. Gerry left for Spurs, Wilkins came back from Palace and took us to 8th. We flirted with Eufa qualification.

Then Ferdinand left and yes he (RW) shares some of the blame for his buys, but Les was our main man. Wonder if he would still have gone if we had qualified for Europe.

I'd go with Ale too!

At the time of his injury, Argentina were looking to play him instead of Mascherano (spelling?). That is how good he was!

When is he coming back for his Forever induction?( Obviously not in the near future)!
