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.

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

Edsbro (0) – QPR (5), Sunday 28th July, 1991
QPR spending part of the pre-season in Sweden was a common feature during the 80’s and especially during the first half of the 90’s. But the first visit actually dates back to 1973, when two friendlies were played. Further visits followed in ’81, ’82, ’86 and ’88, with four friendlies being played each time. From Continue reading

Evening Standard – Thursday 22nd November: ‘Amit Bhatia has just been asked to reflect on the 11 years he has spent at QPR. With a hearty laugh, he replies: “The ‘P’ must stand for patience.” It is a virtue that has certainly been put to the test since joining the board in 2007 after his Continue reading
