Birthday: Ex-QPR, Steve Wicks Turns 50!

-
Steve Wicks Turns 50: Born October 3rd 1956
Beginning at Chelsea; then joined Derby. Wicks was signed by Tommy Docherty from Derby in September 1979. Wicks played two seasons for QPR before Terry Venables sold Wicks to Crystal Palace in a part exchange for Clive Allen. (QPR got Allen + Cash) in June 191
Six months later, on transfer deadline day, in March 1982, Wicks was brought back to QPR (for a lot than QPR paid!) Unfortunately Wicks was cup-tied and so couldn't play against Spurs. Wicks remained at QPR till July 1986 when he rejoined Chelsea after QPR's calamitous "League Cup" Final against Oxford.
Wicks didn't win a full cap, but came close. Another in a long line of ex-Chelsea players who shone at QPR and about whom, QPR fans have very warm feelings!
