Just the once I think, for Brentford early 80's at the tail end of his career.A legend RIP Stan.
Did he ever play at Priestfield stadium does anyone know?
I doubt it even talented players got poorly paid in those.days.I would hazard a guess that there.are a few league one and possibly two players who earn more today in equivalent wages.One thing said of Stan mainly in jest. 'If he could pass a betting shop as well as he could pass a football he would be a rich man. RIP
Me too. I was an R's fan as a kid. Tony Currie, Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis and Simon Stainrod.One of my earliest childhood football heroes. Sad news. Great maverick player.
For me Stan Bowles epitomised what I thought a pro footballer was all about. Showing high skill but above all entertaining the punter.Me too. I was an R's fan as a kid. Tony Currie, Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis and Simon Stainrod.
Start to feel your age when your heroes start to die.
Are we twins :-) ?I was given a football kit for Christmas every year as a young kid in the early 70s. One year it was the hoops of QPR and I followed them for quite a few seasons before discovering the Gills. It coincided with the team that included Bowles, Francis, Givens, Thomas, with Phil Parkes in goal. The clubs heyday.
RIP Stan
I haven’t spoken to my brother in 6-7 years, so maybe.Are we twins :-) ?
Thomas was another underrated player.I was given a football kit for Christmas every year as a young kid in the early 70s.
