Hinchcliffe. Good for us, but better for Everton. His inswinging corners were just about undefendable.

Good shout, league champion and European cup winner with Forest, signed from and returned to Norwich fairly quickly.Martin O Neil
I saw Stan Bowled play quite a bit because my cousin's were big QPR fans and I used to go to Loftus Rd when I visited, but I don't think I saw him play for City or if I did it was unmemorable, a lovely player to watch though.Ladies and gentlemen...

Micky channons goal celebration was iconic.Tbf, given my age then, it was probably just his goal celebration I liked, a bit like Townshend with his guitar.
And at the same time a little wierd.
Last i heard of him was when he was involved in a car crash on the m1 motorway ,just north of leicester,a few years back now.pretty sure he pullled thru,but i think it was a bad one..

He was class.in his hey day ..with Gerry Francis,Mick Leach Rodney Marsh etc in a qpr side that challenged for the old 1st Division title mid 70s.I saw Stan Bowled play quite a bit because my cousin's were big QPR fans and I used to go to Loftus Rd when I visited, but I don't think I saw him play for City or if I did it was unmemorable, a lovely player to watch though.
Commonly known as one of footballs 'mavericks' ..like duncan mckenzie
Inconsistent...but virtually unplayable on his day.
Liked a bet did Stan
I have an old framed picture of the late 60s City 1st team squad...Stan Bowles and Stan horne feature on it..

Channon use to infuriate my old fella. He`d say if he wore his boots on his arse he`d play better. Channon is a mate of Alan Brazil and still trains racing horses somewhere down south.
Never one of my favourite`s either.
