Ray Drinkwater sadly passed away on 24th March, aged 76. He was the first QPR keeper I ever saw and he made 214 league and cup appearances for the R’s before moving on to Bath City. Michael Woodley kindly sent me the image of the Northway Youth Club team in Guildford. Ray is shown third from the left and he went on to play for Guildford City, Portsmouth and then QPR. Bernard Lambert (Kerrins) sent me his own memories of … Continue reading →

This all started 6 months ago…in a pub where most of these things tend to start. There I was minding my own business, when one of the owners of this Site blindsided me. I know two or three of them but this one pretends to be my friend but I know that he really hates me. How do I know this ?

Team: Bulmer, Coyne, ilesanmi, O’Brien, Ford, Brown, Morgan-Cummings, Maguire, German, Fernandez, Arthur. Subs: Smith, Lawrence, Harris, Wright. In goal today was Niki Bulmer who was on Manchester United’s books and we think that he has signed for two years.

Team: Crowther, Coyne, Brown, O’Brien, Ford, Harris, Morgan-Cummings, Maguire, German, Arthur, Lawrence Sub Used: Smart (the only available substitute) A very strong wind blew across the pitch which didn’t help to make it a good game and not very pleasant for watching either. Gillingham opened the scoring within the first few minutes. There were times when the R’s upped the pace and pressed well but couldn’t make it count. In fact, at one time, QPR kept possession with ten or … Continue reading →
