of watching these 4 prolific goalscorers and had to pick one......
who would it be.
maybe an unfair question, but perhaps a debatable one.
kevin gallen
clive allen
les ferdinand
don givens.
christ knows how many goals they scored between them for qpr, but in my opinion....
in order....
don givens would be the one.
couldnt split between les and clive..
and then kevin gallen.

I shat myself having previously been arrested at Forest for stealing a British Rail toilet roll. Had to go to Nottingham court with my Dad. £25 fine with a conditional discharge. Told them haven’t been to a game since and was sorry. Wolves fan and Dad, same crime, went in somewhat bullish and got fined £50. Ridiculous when you think about it, the transport police bloke, courts time and the judge playing God. Football fans back then were the enemy of the state. Luckily at WHL only thrown out.
Have also been watching the the show Sherwood and reminded me of those times. I used to run coaches to games before the LSA started from Rayners lane station. Around that time the govt had banned coaches traveling to stop miners going to visit various picket lines. They stopped us on the M1 all full guns blazing then very sheepishly left.
Police state it’s what the people want. | | | |

Guilty, somewhat embarrassed and also relieved. All before the introduction of the pound coin I think.

Les top man. As all round front man.
I can't say about givens as never saw him play.
In terms of scoring shed loads as a poacher Clive Allen Supreme.
Gallen could have replicated Allen but for injuries.
Austin would add as for two seasons was superb. |  |

Was Gary Bannister unworthy then? |
Anybody with two hat tricks against North Battersea has got to be in contention. |  |

You just got me thinking about how little Givens gets mentioned when we talk about that team, but if you watch the matches, he's always in the right place at the right time to score, cross or otherwise assist.
23 goals in 46 games in the 72-73 promotion-winning side tells its own story. I think if I'm not mistaken he's still 4th in the list of leading scoreres for the Republic of Ireland as well. |
"23 goals in 46 games in the 72-73 promotion-winning side"
It was even better than that as it was 42 games back then. He also got another 3 in the cups.
Don Givens to me doesn't get rated enough when our great strikers are mentioned. In his six seasons here he notched 100 goals in League + Cups (76 + 24). His partnership with Stan also needs to be talked about more as well. In the six seasons DG was here they shared 192 goals between them
Their records:
72/73
DG - 23 + 3 (Cups)
SB - 17 +1 (Cups)
73/74
DG - 10 + 5
SB - 19 + 3
74/75
DG - 16 + 4
SB - 10 +2
75/76
DG - 13 + 0
SB - 10 + 2
76/77
DG - 10 + 9
SB - 5 + 14
77/78
DG - 4 + 3
SB - 6 + 3 | |
