Town overcame fellow Division One strugglers QPR in the penultimate home game of the 2000/01 season at the John Smith’s Stadium.
The two sides came into the game knowing that the three points were vital to their respective survival pushes.

The visiting Rs hit back shortly before half-time through Andy Thomson’s lob over Town goalkeeper Nico Vaesen.
