In the early weeks, QPR actually headed the First Division Table...and ended the season 5th with 67 points and top London Club.

Later that season, Bannister was sold; Mark Falco was bought and Trevor Francis joined as a player. A year later, Bulstrode was sadly RIP; Smith, Brock and Fereday were at Newcastle. And Trevor Francis was player manager.
