We lost 6-4 to them today in Manchester. The U23's. Ramkilde, Kendall, Armstrong and Ardarkwa our scorers.
One to remember from 75/76, my main memory of the game was a lot of United fans in the Loft ahead off kick off. We should have won by more... Couldn't find anything from our 3-0 win on Boxing Day 1973 which was the last time George Best played for United, we slaughtered them with Stan scoring a couple and the writing was on the wall for them eventually being relegated...
Alex Stepney in goal. I met him at Old Trafford a while back,when he was doing hospitality after a game, and reminded him of the time we put six past him at Loftus Road when he was playing for Millwall. He took it very well.
One of my favorite photo's of Stan after scoring against Man U on New Years Day 1974, we gave them a right good tonking that day in what was George Best's last ever game for them.... please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Was sitting with my dad in Ellerslie Road. If anything I enjoyed that season more than the 75-76 one, played some great stuff. Best in this game was just a bit sad. Think Givens scored one of his edge of the box, left foot high into the net crackers as well.
Or there's always this one from our first ever meeting with the in the top flight..........their team included Best, Charlton & Law...... please log in to view this image
Am looking forward to a cracking atmosphere on Saturday even though it is a friendly match. We have missed the live footie.

Would love to have been able to get back for this but returning to the UK has become more complicated than ever. Looking for some good early form and feedback from you lot. I'll be in Beirut Saturday so reliable WiFi will be extremely unlikely but I'll attempt to tune in Have fun all of you who are going. I've missed getting back for my usual 2 to 3 defeats each season
Does anyone know if this match is available on an annual QPR+ account? Or is it regarded as “an extra”?
