Stainrod, Byrne or Wegerle?

[BUSHRANGER1982]

I would have to give third place to............... Simon Stainrod otherwise known as, Stainrodney.

[Sleeping Giants]

It's widely agreed/argued that either Bowles or Marsh were the greatest ever to wear the number ten shirt at Rangers. However what isn't often discussed is who is the third greatest to wear it.

Stainrod?
Byrne?
Wegerle?

For me its got to be Johnny Byrne. Fantastic dribblng skills, linked up with Bannister superbly and banged in a lot of goals on the plastic pitch. He also played in a relatively successful side throughout his Rangers career and seemed to play with a smile on his face. A real entertainer.

Wegerle was class!!.....Byrne was me hero growing up but Stainrod's the one!!!

[THE FLYING COW]

well

well we are really talking about the best dribblers,the best striker ever to play for qpr is les ferdinand
i think routledge may end up in the top five but the top four are marsh bowles
wegerle byrne..............the fifth could be stainrod or andy sinton

I'd argue that Marsh was very much a striker, moreso than Bowles.

For all this ferrango about diving, these media types should have seen Rodney and Franny Lee going about their business!!!

So, Rodney was THE best pure striker to play for us, closely followed by Clive Allen and Don Givens IMO, whereas Stan was the best player to play for us. Les scrapes the top 10.

IMHO Kevin Gallen deserves at least an honorable mentioning here. Although his career was riddled with injuries and us being in the lower divisions, he was a great captain, and he always produced some goals. Not mye favourite player, but still one of our great number 10's.

I loved Wegerle and Jonny Byrne but I have many great memories of Super Simon Stainrod. Particularly his hat trick up at Newcastle before the 82 cup final, magic day and night out.

all3 were great
for me i loved stainrod for his skill attitude and always starting scraps
wegerle was fast, so silky and skilful, a class above
byrne.....again skilful, an entertainer...

as for placing em, well all 3 share joint 1st place...

i suppose they all had great partners too
stainrod/allen
byrne/banniser
wegerle/sir les

then i'd go allen/stainrod..their goals got us to wembley and promoted

Maybe you have to bear in mind that a significant number if not the majority of Rodney's goals for us were scored in Division's 2 & 3, where as Stanley goals were mainly scored in division 1 with some being scored in Division 2.

Marsh's goal record at Man City playing in the Division 1 is very similar to Bowles overall record at Ranger's, about 1 in 3.
