Stan Bowles: The maverick who lit up Loftus Road
Stanley Bowles raised his arms into the air and took the acclaim of the Loftus Road crowd.
It was a familiar sight throughout the 1970s, but this was August 2015 and was to be the last time Bowles graced the pitch he once ruled.
Bowles, the former QPR, Brentford and England inside-forward, has died aged 75 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
He looked in good physical shape as he was presented to the crowd on ‘Stan Bowles Day’,, but his condition had already taken its toll.
