Part of Neil Warnock's 'bread and butter player' clique, Kaspars Gorkss' willingness to put his head in where it hurts played a major role in Rangers obtaining the best defensive record in the npower Championship last term.

Gorkss, Matt Connolly, Fitz Hall and Danny Shittu all played their part at the heart of the QPR back last four last season, with the former amassing the most appearances of the quartet during a memorable campaign for the R's.

Skipper of the Latvian national team, Gorkss made 43 appearances in all competitions for Rangers during the 2010/11 season and scored three goals, including a brace in the Hoops' 3-0 defeat of Doncaster Rovers in W12 in September.

The R's ended their search for a centre-half with the capture of Kaspars Gorkss in July 2008.

Gorkss put pen to paper on a three-year deal, after the R's agreed an undisclosed fee with Blackpool for his services.

And the giant defender - after a mixed start to life in W12 - went on to enjoy a profitable maiden season at Loftus Road, making 35 appearances in all competitions and finishing runner-up in both the Players' Player and Supporters' Player of the Year awards.
