=== The Golden Era (1970s)=== [[Terry Venables]] joined from Spurs at the beginning of the 1969β70 season and [[Rodney Marsh (footballer)|Rodney Marsh]] was sold to [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]]. During this time, new QPR heroes emerged including [[Phil Parkes (footballer born 1950)|Phil Parkes]], [[Don Givens]], [[Dave Thomas (footballer born 1950)|Dave Thomas]] and Stan Bowles. These new signings were in addition to home-grown talent such as [[Dave Clement]], [[Ian Gillard]], [[Mick Leach]] and [[Gerry Francis]]. In 1972 QPR were promoted to Division One (the top tier of English football), under manager [[Jim Gregory (football chairman)|Jim Gregory]]. In 1974, [[Dave Sexton]] joined as manager and in 1975β76 led QPR to the runners-up spot in the [[Football League First Division|First Division]], missing out on the championship by only one point, with a squad containing seven [[England national football team|England]] internationals and internationals from the [[home nations]]. After completing their 42-game season, QPR sat at the top of the league, one point ahead of [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] who went on to defeat [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]] to clinch the title. Wolves were relegated to the Second Division that same season. The late 1970s also saw some cup success with Rangers reaching the semi-finals of the [[League Cup]] and in their first entry into European football reached the quarter-finals of the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] losing to [[AEK Athens F.C.|AEK Athens]] on penalties. Following Sexton's departure in 1977 the club eventually slipped into the Second Division in 1979.
