Taxes, early QPR cup exits and death are the certainties of life, and each year we lose many life-long R’s fans, who are displayed on the Videotron at Loftus Road each January. All are to be honoured, some are best known only to smaller groups of family and friends, but others are very well known. Such a person is Continue reading

In Memory of Michael Hellawell
Mike Hellawell, QPR FC star winger of the 1955-57 era has sadly recently passed away, aged 85. He was just one season before my time, so I never got to see him play for the R’s. Although as a young kid, older adult supporters often used to tell me what an exceptional wing-forward talent he Continue reading

In Memory of Keith Sanderson
It was very sad to hear the news that Keith Sanderson, the engine room of the QPR FC 1966-68 golden era, died following a car crash incident. Keith was signed in 1965 from Plymouth for £4,000 and stayed with the R’s until 1970 whereupon he was transferred to Goole Town. During his spell at Loftus Continue reading
In Memory of Ray (Nutty) Levell: 16th February 1948 – 8th August 2022
We first met Ray when our lads played in Rangers’ Centre of Excellence and over the years we became the best of friends, including his partner, Tina. So many memories of Ray and we can absolutely say one thing, he was hysterical! He made us laugh and smile all the time. We can’t think of Continue reading
In Memory of Bobby Cameron
Bobby Cameron was a cultured inside-forward of the old school. During his spell at Loftus Road from 1950 to 1959, he played 278 first team games and scored 62 goals. Another of my childhood heroes in those R’s colours of white shirts and navy-blue shorts from decades long past. Bobby seemed to be at the Continue reading
In Memory of Keith Rutter
Keith Rutter, stalwart centre-half for QPR FC, has sadly passed away at the age of 89. During his near-nine-year period with the R’s, Keith was a reliable rock steady, no nonsense defender. He was rarely injured and certainly in my own personal recollection from 1957 onwards, he never dropped from the first team. You hardly Continue reading

Over the past two years I have undertaken extensive research into my family ancestry and although it is possible to find a wealth of information on such a subject, there are some areas you are frustratingly missing. My Dad’s side of the family travelled up from a life of Continue reading
