From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon Allan Stainrod (born in Sheffield, Yorkshire, on February 1, 1959) was a footballer with QPR in the 1980s.
Simon was a skilful and flamboyant player. He played for Sheffield United from 1975 to 1976 when he was transferred to Oldham Athletic. He was signed for QPR by Terry Venables in 1980. He was a key part of the 1982 team that reached the FA Cup Final losing narrowly to Tottenham Hotspur after a replay, as well as the 1983 team that won the Second Division Championship. In all Simon played 145 league games for QPR scoring 48 goals.
After Venables left Loftus Road in 1984 the side quickly fell apart under the unsuccessful reign of Alan Mullery and many players including Stainrod left the club.

He is also a FIFA-licensed football agent and is now based in Cannes, France.
