Looking Back A Decade: John Spencer Joins QPR

November 1996: Ten Years since John Spencer - and Gavin Peacock - joined QPR.

Stuart Houston made Spencer his first signing when he paid Chelsea almost 2.5 million pounds. Ex-QPR forward/midfielder Peacock joined from Chelsea, initially on a month loan; then QPR paid almost one million pounds.
November 23: Spencer and Peacock made their QPR debuts in the 2-1 loss at Reading (Spencer of course scoring)
