My 50 Years Of Support For QPR FC (7th September 1957 to 7th September 2007) Part Two
A new dawn has broken has it not ? These words which were spoken by Tony Blair in May 1997 would have been far more appropriate had they been said by a certain Mr J. Gregory, the ambitious new Chairman at the start of the 1965/66 football Season. Yes, ‘Uncle Jim’ was taking us forward Continue reading

Letter From Tibet (FAO G Paladini)
High on a plateau in Tibet, in a region that is almost inaccessible, stands a Monastery that is home to a ‘Silent Order’ of Monks. Aside from the obvious spiritual leaders, the Monks have always had their own leader or to be more precise, the one known as ‘The Master’. A line unbroken for fifteen Continue reading
Saturday 4th March 1967 – Eighth Account
My first trip to Wembley and it was to see the Rangers, in a major Cup Final of all things. This wasn’t supposed to be my first trip there and the R’s weren’t really supposed to be there for the first time either ! You see, I had a ticket for the World Cup Final Continue reading

Hoddle Emerges As Front Runner
Dave McIntyre writes in this week’s Gazette that the former England boss could be on his way to Loftus Road. QPR could be set to offer former England boss Glen Hoddle the Manager’s job at Loftus Road. Rangers approached Hoddle on Thursday after cooling their interest in Glenn Roeder. Hayes-born Hoddle, who had spells in Continue reading
Growing Up In The Bush – Part One
This article should be read in conjunction with the brilliant offerings from Irish Jack who was also a founder member of the Kelmscott Gang. On the 6th July 1946, QPR increased their support by one. Having been born in Hammersmith Hospital and within the sound of Loftus Road, it was inevitable that I would follow Continue reading
Items Of Desire: QPR Sew-On Badges
On show is my collection of QPR sew-on badges which I’ve amassed over the years. Not a great amount so far but then again, not a great amount were produced. Some of them are as rare as the proverbial ‘Rocking Horse Shxx’, as what usually happened, the badges were sewn on and as time went Continue reading
