I can't be certain, but reckon I saw him play at The Valley 14/10/75. It was a league cup replay having drawn at Loftus Road. QPR were runners up in Division 1 the previous season and had a great team. Bowles, Gerry Francis, Dave Thomas, Givens, Clement was it Parkes in goal? They beat us 0-3, an evening game with a 30,000 crowd. I remember we could have walked back to Blackheath Standard quicker as the Charlton Road was gridlocked for about an hour. Biggest traffic jam I ever saw post match.

RIP Stan a truly magical player.
That was some night - 30k plus crowd in the days when crowds were Understated. We drew at QPR in the first game( another great night ) I think they was top of the old League at the time But yes RIP He was some player⚽️
Birds, booze and gambling and a great player to boot.
Not so much the birds and booze. Betting a different story. My old man used to see him at The City in time for the first race....when Bowlesy was playing for Forest.
