He was spotted by QPR and moved there for 30,000. He had two loan spells at Brentford and Besiktas (in Turkey). He became first choice at QPR in 1991 and made his England debut in 1994. He had a great career with Rangers and was a often seen leaping like a salmon to power home headers. Much to the fans' disappointment, he was sold to Newcastle in 1995 for 6 million, scoring 29 goals in his first season with them, and getting within touching distance of the Premiership title. This precipitated Queens Park Rangers relegation in the 95/96 season. In 1997 he was bought by Spurs, again for 6 million. In the 2002/2003 season he moved to West Ham, but the club was relegated at the end of the season. He joined Leicester on a free transfer at the beginning of the 2003/2004 season. After the Foxes were relegated at the end of that season he joined Bolton Wanderers, but left them on January 2 2005. His contract at Reading lasts until the end of the 2004/2005 season, at which point he has said he will retire from professional football. Ferdinand, Les Ferdinand, Les
