Terry Mancini - Born October 4, 1942 - Turns 64
QPR manager Gordon Jago signed Orient's 29 year-old captain and Center-half, Terry Mancini in November 1971 to bolster QPR promotion hopes. (It didn't work, and initially, Mancini was not a great success and was initially replaced by QPR's own 'home grown" Ian Evans.
But Mancini "worked his way up" and QPR were promoted the following season and became a firm fan favourite. And to the amazement of many, he was a major success in QPR's first season back in the First Division and was even capped by the Republic of Ireland.
Mancini was sold to struggling Arsenal in October 1974, shortly before Gordon Jago himself left QPR. Mancini had been replaced by David Webb in the QPR Defense.
