Queens Park Rangers have had many good players over the years but few can compare to Adel Taarabt when it comes to natural ability.
The attacking midfielder, who is currently at Benfica, is loved by the Hoops fans after his spell with the R’s earlier in his career, with his role in their Championship title win back in 2011 particularly fondly remembered. Incredibly, the Moroccan weighed in with 19 goals and 21 assists in that season – which saw him named as the best player in the second tier.

Cardiff at Home – tight and crucial game unlocked by Adel at the Loft End

His goal against Preston seems to always be overlooked, it was absolutely outrageous ๐ฅ

His second at home Fulham, outside of the boot, best goal Iโve ever seen live.

Thinking about it, i cannot think of a goal that isnโt outrageous. They were all exceptional. For me, his goal to put us 1-0 against @WatfordFC when I was mascot. Was one of the best days of my life ๐ตโช๏ธ๐ตโช๏ธ @QPR

I loved the 1st at Cardiff away. Just for the sheer importance of it. Beautiful goal. His best though was either Preston or Swansea at home. Pure filth.
