I remember meeting Stan in Ruislip near QPRs training ground, I thought I would ask him for his autograph. He was stood in the door way of a record shop with his back to me, I asked excuse me Mr Bowles. He turned round and looked shocked, shit he said, you frightened the life out of me, thought you were a bookie after money 😂 Wonderful player was Stan.
I was coming out of the Springbok 15 minutes before KO. See Stan coming out of the bookies with a coat and plimsolls on, over his kit. People were patting him on the back and saying get a goal today Stan.
...lucky to have met Stan in northolt on a Saturday coming out of a bookies while I was visiting my uncle and nana on the high st, a couple of hours before kickoff, a man i respect for his talent on the field and his enjoyment of life off the pitch...rip you legend...❤👍
Abe: I will always hold QPR dear to my heart. Back in the days of Rodney Marsh and Stan Bowles, they had provided me with much entertainment and delight as I peregrinated to the area of Shepard's Bush, and trecked happily to Loftus Road. Their styles of play and presence of personality were personified with prestigious prowess. I wish the new and historic players all of the best. Big up QPR. London Town is the capital of the universe for billions of people who had arrived and will come and go in the future.
I see stan all the time he goes in the gardeners arms greengate Moston Manchester see him all the time walking about Moston Lane he's always in the pub nobody bothers him you wouldn't no he was a top footballer very normal fellow has a pint goes outside for a smoke no one else bothers him
Joe Newman I used to live on Woodstock road in the 60’s n 70’s and when Stan was at City he was always in the miners club on the NCB estate just across from st marys park what a player
I was living in London 74 / 75 QPR was playing the best football in town then. Always went to Loftus Road

Nice to see Dave Thomas here. Fine winger - very underrated.
I agree John. D Thomas was a class act.

Three great footballers in a very good side
Three top class players from our greatest ever side!!

He remembers more about bookies & 'the Dogs' than his goals !! 😄
RIP Stan 😊❤
