He's to blame for me being an R. I've never known whether to thank him or call him a barsteward. |  | | |

According to my late Dad he was the best player to ever wear the hoops. Unfortunately I was too young to see him live but Dad always said he was ahead of Bowles which in itself is no mean feat.
If I could go back in time the second half of the Wembley '67 League Cup final would be a good place to be..... |  | | |

He was the best.

Hard to believe the great man is 80.
No Rodney no Stanley
No Rodney no League Cup triumph. Carlisle would have beaten us 1-0 in the 5th Round.
it's no exaggeration to say that it was because of Rod that we went on to have the success that we had in the following years.
Yes Jim Gregory put his hand in his pocket but that was only after Rod had been weaving his magic.
Rod was much more than "that hat-trick against Birmingham".
Those of us with long memories can remember seeing Rod score goals like that nearly every week.
And who can forget the Rodneeee chant that went around the ground.
Especially on a dark cold winters afternoon.
My-and many other's-all time favourite Ranger.
But you had to have lived in those times to truly appreciate the brilliance of the great Rodney Marsh.
Happy Birthday Rod. | | | |

The first QPR maverick no 10. I don't think he was better than Bowles, though. Stan performed at a higher level and had a better all round game. |  |

Great entertainer, a pity we never saw him at his best in div 1.
I saw him and Stanley many times and it is difficult to choose which one was better. Marsh for strength, Bowles for speed. | | | |

When I saw the pic the club posted he looked in brilliant nick for 80. Hopefully got plenty left in him. | | | |

I was privileged to see him in his pomp- he was instrumental in putting Rangers on the map and as a 13 year old I was devastated when we sold him to Man City. Thankfully in those days we had a clue about recruitment and in came Stan for just over half what we received for Rod , Don Givens for £40 grand etc etc . Rod was my first hero, and everyone else’s of that age. | | | |

Still believe if Rod had started that 68 season in the 1st division we would have made a better fist of it. Even when he came back he looked half fit... and even by then we were a demoralised team.
He was great and frustrating at the same time.... would beat his man and be ready to score, but he felt it was too easy so had to beat someone else.... before scoring... you always felt he would come a cropper.....
We even named one of our pet cats.... Rodnee such was the man.
My first ever man love.... Stan was unbelievable... Rod was just Rod. | | | |
