Knacker's yard? Helguson is Neil Warnock's QPR thoroughbred

Ian Gibb11 April 2012

Neil Warnock spent £1million on bringing Rob Hulse to Loftus Road in the summer but it is veteran striker Heidar Helguson who has been banging in the goals for Queens Park Rangers this season.

The QPR boss said: "If Heidar had taken it and missed, I would have battered him. They tell me he was ready for the knacker's yard last season when he couldn't do three games in seven days like he does now but he uses his intelligence with great movement and he causes problems."
