Simon Allan Stainrod (born 1 February 1959 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire) is an English former footballer most famously with Queens Park Rangers in the 1980s.
[edit] Career
Stainrod played for Sheffield United from 1975 to 1979 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 Stainrod 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 later played for Sheffield Wednesday (his boyhood club), and was sold to Aston Villa for £350,000 in 1985 and he enjoyed a spectacular debut when he scored all four goals versus Exeter City in the Milk Cup Second Round First Leg. However, he was in a struggling team and was with the team when they were relegated in 1987. He was subsequently sold to Stoke City in 1987.
He spent the 1988-89 season in France with RC Strasbourg (8 appearances, 2 goals). He then spent a further spell with FC Rouen (22 appearances, 1 goal) before moving to Scotland to play for Falkirk and Ayr United F.C. and then managing Dundee in Scotland.
During Stainrod's spell at Falkirk he famously scored from the halfway line against St. Johnstone F.C. direct from a kick off.[1]
He is also a FIFA-licensed football agent and is now based in Cannes, France.
