hoops QUEENS PARK RANGERS 4 COVENTRY CITY 1 SATURDAY 6TH MARCH 1976 FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION ONE A COMPREHENSIVE performance enabled titlechasing Rangers to extend their unbeaten run to seven games. Dave Thomas gave the R’s the lead on six minutes when he smashed into the net following a delightful clipped pass by Republic of Ireland international striker Don Givens. Stan Bowles put Gerry Francis in the clear for the second goal on 61. Although the England captain’s initial shot was blocked, he was alert enough to nod in the rebound from close range. With 71 minutes played, another defence-splitting ball by Bowles picked out Thomas on the left wing and his cross enabled Givens to hammer home first time. Two minutes later, Don Masson hit number four – nipping in to convert after David Webb shot against the upright. Barry Powell scored a consolation half-volley for midtable Coventry in the 82nd minute. However, the Sky Blues were second best overall. This result sent QPR to the top of the league – two points clear of previous leaders Liverpool, who lost 2-0 at home to Middlesbrough that afternoon. Denis Compton wrote in the Sunday Express newspaper: “QPR, London’s pride and joy, today stand clear at the top of the First Division. And it was an inspired performance from Stan Bowles which helped put them there. Bowles turned on a second-half display of artistry which left Coventry’s defence in tatters. “His footwork and distribution led to two of the goals that could bring the League title to Loftus Road. Honours also go to England captain Gerry Francis, whose electrifying runs up the middle added to Coventry’s confusion, and the consistently good goalkeeping of Phil Parkes.” RANGERS: Parkes, Clement, Gillard, Hollins, McLintock, Webb, Thomas, Francis, Masson, Bowles, Givens.
