Thirty-five years ago today: February 17, 1973, Stan Bowles scored his first QPR hattrick in a 5-0 win against a very poor Swindon team at Loftus Road. (Francis and Givens were the other QPR scorers). Swindon had recently sold Don Rogers and had Mick McGovern making his debut after his 10,000 pound transfer from QPR.
QPR's team that day: Parkes, clement Mancini Hazell Watson - Venables Francis Leach, Thomas Bowles Givens.
