Didn't realise he was a bit posh.

Oh god, if only this was the right thread.

Stan Bowles - QPR legend 75
Used to enjoy watching play back in the day. Had a boot deal with adidas and Puma for his England debut - wore one of each.

Bowles was a big part of a Brian Viner book I enjoyed, with his Ma's famous comment on his gambling, apparently a lovely footballer an all. RIP Stanley, such a cruel disease

Great player and personality back in the 70's

….super talented, wand of a left foot and loved life off the pitch. A real character, i concur that you always enjoyed watching him play.

Stan Bowles - QPR legend 75

A larger than life character from a golden era of ‘70’s football. I’ll always associate him with the likes of Frank Worthimgton, George Best, Brian Clough etc.

To quote Kevin Michell from the Guardian

“He was a footballing scamp who spread art and confusion on the pitch and rancour in the boardroom”.

RIP

Missed this yesterday.
RIP Stan Bowles a truly talented and entertaining footballer.

Right up there with the 70's mavericks, sad news, he was a terrific player.

Best ever stan bowles story. QPR game in the 70s. Cant remember who the manager was. But 2.30 in the dressing room he's doing his team talk and asks where stan is. Told he wont be long. He's just popped to the bookies outside the ground to back his horses.
