Saw this on a podcast and got me wondering.
Name a player that when they left the club it hurt. This could either be because you loved them as a player or the way they went about it to get out of the club
For me it was Les. Just because I hadn't seen a player like that at the club and I grew up watching him. With him, we stood a chance and when he went you kinda knew it was over |  | | |  |

Rodney for me too. But Phil Parkes a close second. Seemed more important when you’re a kid. | | | |

Trevor Sinclair
Was amazing for us and we let him go for a bag of peanuts and a broken West Ham player |  |

I thought about that one too. I remember he was really in top form. I think at that point he was playing just off Dichio and was scoring quite a few. It seemed like the will he won't he, went on for ages but it was inevitable. | | | |

Always Sir Les.... spent too many mornings on a paperound reading idle speculation and being scared out of my wits, at the thought of him leaving...
Honestly though, the life got sucked out of me when I learned that Clive Wilson had left for spuds... I remember where I was, the approximate time etc etc. |  | | |

Gerry off to Spurs and break up of that early/mid 90’s side that coincided with my time living over there. Still hurts now… |  | | |

Parkes for me too, but another off to West Ham hurt more for some reason - Paul Goddard. Thought he and Allen could have been major. | | | |

First time I ever went abroad was a school trip skiing in Italy. The coach arrived back to London late in the evening and my Mum came to greet me. The first thing she said was, “anything broken?” to which I proudly replied - no. Her next words were “they sold Phil Parkes to West Ham” I was devastated. Seriously devastated. It felt as if QPR waited till I left the country to do the deal. |  | | |

Sir Les, Gerry and Phil Parker’s. I saw Phil Parkes in the Crown and Sceptre a few months later and we’d just lost badly and I said to him “could have done with you today” He just shrugged and said something like it wasn’t my idea. |  |
| Strong and stable my arse. |

This for me too. I was smitten with him. Apart from anything else have we ever had a player who just *looked* so fùcking cool?
Tragic that he became known as boring Sinclair at west ham [Post edited 18 Apr 5:06]

New one from me, Andy Sinton. He was my first proper favourite player, I was on holiday in Wales and it came on the radio that he had gone. I was distraught. I’ll never forget it! Honourable mentions to Sinclair, Austin, Les & oddly Dichio! |  | | |

Loads, is the answer.
I'll add Clive Wilson to the growing list. Loved watching him play. | | | |

Paul Parker. Was easily my favourite player. And he went to Surrey Utd.
Then sir Les as I feel it directly led to the terminal decline of the club from which we have never recovered.
Am.just about old enough to remember Stan leaving but not old enough to first handedly know the significance at the time. |  |

Paul Parker
Alan McDonald - felt sacrilegious him playing for anyone else
Les Ferdinand
Roy Wegerle
Sinclair Armstrong annoyed me immensely
John Spencer - I know it tailed off, but loved him
Seny Dieng / Rob Dickie - also annoying, didn't see the need at such low prices
Nakki Wells - always wish we could have bought him |  | | |

As a young keeper at the time I was gutted when David Seaman left. I had met him only a few weeks before at a school fete.
The most successful goalkeeper we've ever had play for us. Sadly all after he left us!
Edit English goalkeeper.... Who could forget our Brazilian legend 🙄 |  |

It was only a loan but Taraabt playing for Fulham made me sick in my mouth .
That early 90’s team breaking up had a few including Darren Peacock for me . Bloody loved big Darren . No nonsense smash you into the stands. Him and Macca were immense for me . Steve Yates didn’t replace him |  | | |

I know he never gets mentioned on LFW but Eze is a big one for me.
Not just losing a sublime player who we developed but also just the realisation that in the modern football world we could never get to have really nice things for long.
It should have been us enjoying him for all these years, not fkin Palace.
Being able to keep players like him is the best reason for wanting to go up to the Premcesspit. |  | | |

Good shout - Darren Peacock - (i) because he was excellent and (ii) we all knew deep down that it was the end of that era. We had finally shown selling everything was all we cared about. | | | |

I remem er thinking at the time that by selli g Peacock we would keep Sir Les....
I have also been wrong on occasions since. | |

Another vote for Les, but also Gallen. He was great in the first season I properly started going to games. Was over the moon when he joined again. | | | |

Yes. I remember a crudely painted 'Rodney must not go' slogan on some rough structure on the Ellerslie Road side of the ground. They were my sentiments entirely. | | | |

Managers-wise, I'd have been 13 or 14 when my school PE teacher - a fellow R - came and told me Gerry Francis had left (the first time), I was crestfallen and we stood, adult and child, looking sadly at each other. | | | |

Lee Cook, when he went to Fulham.
I know we needed the money, but it was so heartening to watch a player of that quality playing in the hallowed hoops.
His ball control and dribbling were astonishing and his crossing pinpoint.
I thought he would make it at the highest level but injury sadly put paid to that. I feel really bad for him about that, it must have been very hard to take. |  |
