Queens Park Rangers may be over 100 years old, but it is only in the last 40 years that the London football club have made a name for themselves.

Set up in 1882, Queens Park Rangers turned professional in 1898, but were not elected to the Football League until 1920, when the football club entered the new Third Division, It was as a Division Three club that QPR FC won their only major trophy - the League Cup - in 1967.

With prolific striker Rodney Marsh grabbing 30 goals, manager Alec Stock led QPR FC to the Division Three championship and the Queens Park followed this up a year later by reaching the top flight for the first time, only to be relegated after just one campaign.

Back in Division One by 1973, Dave Sexton's side found themselves close to winning the League Championship in 1976, but, despite having Gerry Francis, Stan Bowles and Dave Thomas in their ranks, QPR FC were pipped by Liverpool by just one point.

Queens Park were relegated again in 1979, but the appointment of Terry Venables as manager heralded another short golden period.

Queens Park Rangers were FA Cup runners-up to Tottenham in 1982 and returned to Division One in 1983 with a team which featured Clive Allen and Terry Fenwick. They lost only two of their home League matches and achieved a club-record points total of 85.

QPR FC were fifth in their first season back in the First Division and continued to punch above their weight so that when the FA Premier League was formed in 1992, they were members.

Since 1996, however, Queens Park have been in the second tier apart from three seasons in the Third, with Ian Holloway steering QPR FC to promotion to the Championship in 2004.
