79 yrs ago today the Rs drew 1.1 at home to Watford in front of 4,000 fans. Alec Stock was featured on the programme cover. He left to join @YTFC as player/mgr a few months later before returning to @QPR in 1959 to become an all time great Rangers manager @stocky74 @retroQPR

It was great to see Phil Parkes back in W12 on Saturday and an honour to be asked to interview him by @QPR- he must have signed literally hundreds of autographs. The player of the season in the 1975/6 season - the highest accolade. In Aug 1977 Phil opened his sports shop in W12.

A night never to be forgotten @paulfinney1969 - glad that I was there as otherwise I would have struggled to comprehend the result. Great to chat with Gary Waddock, one of my all time favourite players, & yourself. I hope people enjoy hearing about the Rs 1984 UEFA Cup campaign.

It's a really nice area and a good place for a drive. The Abinger Hatch also looks like a great pub and is used by a few local car groups theabingerhatch.co.uk Hopefully a few Volvo 480 owners and especially GT drivers can join us! Do please spread the word!
