I didn’t go as far as buying the t-shirt. |
But you've been there and done that? |  | | |

Patrick 'Don't Call Me Dave' Agyemang must surely be at the top of the tree. Out of the blocks like there was no tomorrow, scored 8 of his 15 goals for us in his first 7 games, then only 7 more in his next 60 apps! Ended his career at the legendary Cray Valley Paper Mills (1 app, 0 goals). |  |

Stuart Wardley? Lots of goals first season and then faded quite quickly |
During his last season with us I saw him Captain the reserves at home to Northampton and he was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch.
Northampton beat us home the following Saturday, a real bogey team for us at the time.
I remember us signing Mickey Walsh from Blackpool at a time when we were desperate for a striker. Scored on his debut and did almost nothing after that. |  | | |

The 'word' doing the rounds was that Bruce Rioch had grabbed Spencer by the throat at Exeter FC after a friendly game.
I couldn't work out his dip In performances, I thought he was an excellent player.
When he scored for us at Elm Park against the fakes he came over to us fans behind the goal and declared that 'He was the Man'.
There was also some Welsh bloke who played for us but ended up In prison, I thought he was good. |
For an all too short period of time John Spencer was worth the admission money alone. He was the man.
Would get a place on the bench in my all time best QPR team. | | | |

He seemed unimpressed at Mike Sheron being presented as the Main Man. They played like they hated each other. |  | | |

Now here's one dredged out of my mid-80s memory bank: little Mark Stein, signed at the start of the summer of 88 not long after Gary Bannister had moved on, and seemed to me a more or less like-for-like (nippy little bloke striker) replacement (though on checking, Stein wore no 10, not Banno's 9)
3 top-flight League goals in 5 starts (including one goal off the bench) plus one at the start of our League Cup run (yep, a real one, not sarcasm) by mid-October, it says here, then none in the next four games before being dropped while Ol' Man Francis started to run the show on the pitch.
Just seemed to fade away after that and I sometimes forget he ever played for us. |
I think we swapped him for the Bard who wasn’t happy at Oxford. We got the better end of the deal but Stein subsequently did well at Ch*ls** and Stoke. | | | |
