10 man QPR beat Derby to gain promotion to the English Premier League

Ageing, Bobby Zamora who scored the £134million goal that took QPR back into the Premier League and quite probably saved them from financial ruin.

Having been dominated by Steve McClaren’s youthful and energetic Derby County for 89 minutes, 50 seconds, rickety old QPR and their 33-year-old centre forward only needed one late glimpse to separate the men from the boys.

County skipper Richard Keogh mistimed a clearance straight to the injury-prone striker and he returned it in a flash into the top corner of the net.

Harry Redknapp was besieged on the touchline, owner Tony Fernandes looked as if he’d just escaped a heart attack. With 10 second left, QPR were back in the promised land, and that despite playing the majority of the second-half with only 10 men following Gary O’Neil’s red card. Extraordinary scenes.

Congratulations Queens Park Rangers. I knew you could do it. It would be nice see Uncle Harry again in the EPL.
