Fallen heroes???

[BennyBoyRs]

Any players you thought were messiah-like when you were growing up that you now feel are lesser?

For me...Kevin Gallen is the biggest dissapointment to me. As I kid I always used to play down the park with my brothers and mates. We'd all pick our favorite players and I was always King Kev. I would always shout his name as I went up for a header and wheel away in celebration shouting all things QPR. This was the man I looked up to as a kid as well as Sinclair, but Gallen was the name I'd always pick.

Towards the end of his QPR career he started to become a very bitter and childish person. He seemed to think he was bigger than the club and that he was Mr. QPR and therefore above the law. He refused to come back to the club whilst Gianni and Gregory were still at the club which p**sed me off massively as this was an example of how much he clearly thought he was bigger than QPR. He even said some very s**ty things about the club to a good friend of mine on a night out with his fat mate that he knocks about with. This from a man who was supposed to love the club and do anything for it and it's fans.

Sad times indeed as this man is no longer a hero in my eyes. I'll always thank him for all the good he did for us, but can never forgive him for the way he acted throughout his departure.

Always was Ferdinand that was quite literally god for me until he left. Even when he'd left I'd still sort of look out for Newcastle results to see if he'd scored. Then when we offered for him to finish his career with us and chose to go to Reading for the money that really pished me off to no end. Always said how we were a special club to him blah, blah, blah and then went and sacked us off.

Add another one in Langley. Used to love him as a player in his first stint with us, used to think he'd play for England up until going off to the horrible sheep fondling lot. Always used to think he was a Rangers supporter as well so had all the time in the world for him as well then when he came back to play against us after his second term with us whilst at Luton and had to try his best to wind us up, and then went and grabbed that ball for the penalty. Was quite unbelievable for a so called r's supporter. Same bloke that when I was mascot I went searching the ground for (he was injured at the time) so I could get his autograph.

Players are just players,ive never idolised one.

Never as a kid?
I'm pretty sure every kid had a hero...and not their Dad or big brother.

Without hero's I'm certain my childhood would have been far less fun. As a kid, you don't think of them as just players. You always have a favourite.

Gordon Hill for me. BUT when he came to us he clearly wasent the player he was at Derby and Manure. LOL.:surrender::tired::red_heart:

Can I ask do you make this statement based on facts and also ask do you know Kevin personally? I take it you are referencing Liam (when referencing his fat mate) and I'd love to see you pass a comment like that in front of Liam. :electric_shock:

For your reference Liam is a personal friend of Gianni's. If your as brave as your making your post sound then why not approach Liam and have a chat with him yourself rather than listen to a pi$$ed up mate. He goes to almost all the away games and every home game. If you know either Liam or Kevin personally you would never open you mouth with the drivel you've posted above. Also for your reference Kevin returns to QPR whenever he is available to do so, often with tickets supplied to him by Gianni so clearly they don't get on!

Unless you have hard facts that can prove your profounded garbage I think I'll take a back step when communicating with you in the future. If you knew half the FACTS which led to Kevin departing QPR you'd understand it was all for the right reasons and was something he needed to do.

Why cant we use the magic hat song for someone else ?

I trust my mate more than I'd trust you in fairness. He had the conversation and said he'd never come back under that management which included Gianni. Whether or not they get on now is irellevant as he was clearly bitter about things at the time. As I say, he didn't have many kind words to say at the time and this may well have been as he felt he was being treated unfairly. Not being funny, but who are you to tell me it's garbage? Can you prove your mate never said this? I'd hesitate a guess at this being a no. And I know...I've seen Kev at LR and also at a few away games, but this again does not prove these things were never said. People say things they regret when their drunk. This was very soon after he left for Plymouth and it was in a pub in West London, so I'm not even sure why he was there. He actually bought my mate (there were two of them) a few beers that night as they chatted. He did say he loved the club, but the fact he said he'd never play under certain people makes me feel he thinks he can call the shots.

Personal issues caused Kevin to leave. Gregory was the man Kevin didn't want to play under. Put these two together and you'll possibly get the answer. Gianni wanted Kevin at the club and never wanted him out. Sorry if my last message was a bit in your face but I know Kevin and can assure you he (AND ALL HIS FAMILY) are QPR through and through!

[Power40]

In Kevins defence he was the only player to remember my name at the player of the year do a few years back

For that he will always be a legend to me

That surprise me you would have thought Power40 would be an easy name to remember. It's not a common name afterall. ;D

Personally I had no idols. Love the club and those that play for us. I do not idolise anyone outside of my family. Boring I know.

[UB5 Ranger]

Kevin Gallen = Most over rated QPR PLAYER and should have been gotten rid off long before he did eventually leave !!

[Robbo]

Campy-Wampy.

[rblockells]

Kevin Gallen is rangers alright,and so are his family.Some things went on at our club that are best left alone now,as they are in the past.
