Former QPR forward Stan Bowles has died at the age of 75 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, the club have announced.
Bowles started his career as an apprentice at Manchester City, later joining Fourth Division Crewe and then Carlisle.
After signing for QPR in 1972, Bowles went on to make 315 league appearances, scoring 97 goals over seven seasons, and was part of the team which finished runners-up to Liverpool in the old First Division under Dave Sexton in 1975-76.
It is with a heavy heart we have learned that QPR legend Stan Bowles has passed away.
A footballing icon and arguably the greatest to have ever worn our famous blue and white hoops.
All our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
RIP, Stan. Forever R’s.
