Apologies in advance for reposting it; but when your boyhood hero posts on your blog - even if only to take exception to something said - well that's something to take note of - especially when he also, in passing, says something nice about the blog!

Roddddd...neeee! - although his comment about Gerry Francis...!

The Rodney Marsh Blog - QPR's Year?
