QPR Legend, Dave Thomas Turn 56

-
Dave Thomas - Born October 5, 1950
Gordon Jago signed 21-year old/England U-21 International, Dave Thomas in October 1972 from Burnley for what was then a record fee for a Second Division Club: 165,000 pounds (and a time when the biggest transfer fee paid by an English club was around 250,000 pounds!) (Thomas had been described as the best young player in Europe and seemed a bargain signing. Known for not wearing shin pads/socks down to the ankles)
Thomas was signed to replace QPR midfielder, Martyn Busby who very sadly broke his leg in a game at Fulham. Originally played in midfield, was switched to the wing and was a key player for QPR in their "Championship" season in 1975-1976. Thomas also played 8 times for England. Was crazily transferred to Everton in August 1977.
