Kevin Ball  

Our own Keith Robson

Any more?

a feathered nutter

Charlie Oatway who  went under the radar to some extent was from good  west london stock  and could more than hold his hands up both on and off the pitch.

He was also named after the entire QPR first team but nonetheless went on to have a half decent career.

I’ve heard that before, and that he used to sleep with his gloves on and a ball with him in the bed. Classic warm up routine too.

Remember the goalie for Rangers, Andy Goram? Supposedly he had a mild form of Schizophrenia, and of course their fans were singing, "There's only two Andy Gorams".

There was a goalkeeper (John Lukic?) who bought a brand new top-of-the-range Jaguar and immediately gave it a new paint job.

Using Dulux.

All the best goalies are mental.

Stuart Pearce wanting to go out in the 2nd half with a broken leg is up there.

Wasn't nicknamed Psycho for nothing.

I played against and marked Musgrove in a Sunday league game in Torquay in the late 70's.

I was about 21 and he was in his early 40's. He had already been Manager at Torquay. Nothing naughty from him that day!

Back in the day, Malcolm Musgrove for us and Maurice Setters for Man U.

They turned up trying to do their usual bullying and crazy gang bollocks, Dicksy wasn't having any of it and tries to break Wise's legs and gets sent off. That sparks the team, Alvin has a straight up with Eric Young and we go on to win

I think his greatest moment though was slaying the bullies of Wimbledon with a stunning volley in that infamous league cup tie in the late eighties.

I liked him a lot - Bishop - a sublime player and hard as nails. Appearances can be deceptive . . 

Maybe the story grew legs over the years but I believe he was banned for driving the wrong way around Trafalgar square one Christmas after a TV charity event. Yep Julian had the reputation but Bishop was the proper nutter I think. Loved him.
