Looking Back A Decade: John Spencer Joins QPR

-
November 1996: Ten Years since John Spencer - and Gavin Peacock - joined QPR.

Stuart Houston made Spencer his first signing when he paid Chelsea almost 2.5 million pounds. Ex-QPR forward/midfielder Peacock joined from Chelsea, initially on a month loan; then QPR paid almost one million pounds.
November 23: Spencer and Peacock made their QPR debuts in the 2-1 loss at Reading (Spencer of course scoring)

[Spencer ended the season with 18 goals in 29 games and was player of the year. After that initial season, things went rather less well and Spencer moved on to Everton.]
