Twenty years ago, August 15, 1987: QPR under Jim Smith/Peter Shreeves, having survived/escaped from the proposed merger with Fulham, under the new ownership of David Bulstrode, kicked off their new season with a 3-0 win at West Ham. Making his QPR debut: Paul Parker. (Also Dean Coney, Kevin Brock and Mark Dennis).

In the early weeks, QPR actually headed the First Division Table...and ended the season 5th with 67 points and top London Club.
Later that season, Bannister was sold; Mark Falco was bought and Trevor Francis joined as a player. A year later, Bulstrode was sadly RIP; Smith, Brock and Fereday were at Newcastle. And Trevor Francis was player manager.
