A shorter than normal entry for Jukebox Durie this week but, as every man knows, you don’t need length when you’ve got quality, and this week, Jukebox Durie has unearthed a couple of classics from QPR.
While many people think the only thing that attracted players to Loftus Road last season was the huge wage and bonus promised if they successfully stayed up (they didn’t) it did have another attraction – Bruce Thomas, bass player of The Attractions, as in Elvis Costello And The Attractions.
In 1977 he wrote ‘Queens Park Rangers’ to celebrate QPR finishing second in the First Division and their first European adventure when they qualified for the UEFA Cup.
And for the players that did join QPR, even if they were just there for the money, the fans will still loved them, well some of them. I don’t think they’ve forgiven Christopher Samba. They loved ex- Man Utd midfielder Ji Sung Park and they released this lovely slice of Teenage Fanclub-ish pop.
