QPR Prodigals

With Lee Cook's return home to QPR, it's interesting to recall some other QPR players who had two stints with QPR: Moving from QPR and then returning to QPR. Especially those who started their career with QPR. Some such as Clive Allen and Steve Wicks and Mark Lazarus were big successes in all their QPR stints; others didn't quite recapture the magic.
