Queens Park Rangers vs Crystal Palace

hoops
Scully’s
strike
against
Crystal
Palace was
one of the
two goals
he netted
during his
QPR career
Chris Kiwomya went on to notch a hattrick.
He was on fire that day…
Yes, Chris had an outstanding game and
the second goal came just before halftime.
There was a long clearance by our
keeper Ludek Miklosko all the way down
the centre of the pitch and Chris raced
through to score. Then he grabbed two
more from close range and Tim Breacker
got one by following in on a penalty save.
The boys stood up to be counted and we
got the result that was needed.
Our best goal arrived in the second half
when you sent a stunning half-volley
into the top corner at the Loft End to
make it 4-0. Do you recall that one?
I think George knocked the ball over to
me. Things seemed to happen in slow
motion and it was taking forever to
bounce, but eventually it sat up nicely in
front of me and I just remember thinking
it was there to be hit. So I did hit it and
the roar of the crowd was unbelievable!
I took my shirt off and waved it in the air,
although I didn’t know what I was doing
by that stage! I don’t think I even got
booked for it. But I would have taken a
yellow card if I had to because the goal
more or less sealed the result for us.
Gerry Francis used to play a video of
each fixture back to the players at the
training ground on a Monday during his
post-match debrief. When your goal
was shown and your naked torso
appeared on the big screen, all
the other players in the room
started cheering!
Yeah I know. Good times!
The atmosphere against Palace
was totally electric, wasn’t it?
Oh, incredible – it meant so much
to everyone and the fans really
drove us over the line. It was the
best atmosphere I experienced
