Hi All
My 7 year old is currently mad on Rangers
It took some time but he is 💯 in now.
He got the new away shirt with Chair 10 on it at his request and was asking me last night if he could write to Ilias to tell him how great he thinks he is
Has anyone done this before if so how did you do it and did you get a reply?
Any ideas / suggestions welcomed
Cheers |  | | |  |

Just write to him courtesy of the club address.
Clubs have always been good at replying to fan mail, and I have no doubt QPR/Chair will be too. |  |

Some thirty years ago my daughter wrote to her favourite player, Les Ferdinand, and told him all about her summer holiday to Florida. She included photographs of her time at Disney World for him too. She got a very prompt hand written response from him which delighted her. We had the letter framed and I think she still has it today.
I've no idea whether the club had much to do with the response she got, I guess it's all down to the individual involved. Les Ferdinand's reply made my daughter very happy and he got a fan for life for doing that. |  | | |

LOL...me too. In fairness he probably got too many but he should never have promised. | | | |

I can't help with your request but well done for converting your child  |  |

Clive Willson wrote me an 8 page letter to help with my gcse project about racism in football, wish I had photocopied it rather than giving it in as part of the coursework.
I did email the club the other week as my son was going into hospital and they sent him a lovely video from Albert Adomah so it wouldn't hurt to send them something, worst case they just ignore it and your kid is non the wiser. |  | | |

Dave what email address did you contact? My Dad is waiting for an operation at the moment and once he has had it won't be able to go to QPR for a couple of months. Still waiting for a date at the minute, but once he's got one I'm hoping to contact the club to see if they could send him some sort of well wish. I don't want to expect him to get a phone call from Andy Sinton or something like others have had but it would be nice if they could even arrange a card to go.
Related/but not related to this - my Dad was never able to convert my sister to QPR, and she supports Northampton. One of her favourite Cobblers players in the 90s broke his leg in a match right in front of them at Sixfields which traumatised my sister, so my Dad wrote to the club on her behalf after the game wishing him a speedy recovery and he wrote back to her and later arranged for a photo with her too. |  | | |

If everyone on this board had done this thirty years ago we might have less of these evil les threads  |  | | |

That reminds me, at the start of the 1982-1983 season the club put all the squad's birthdates in the programme.
I used this as a prompt to make a birthday card for some of my favourite players and send it to them when their birthday was coming up. I was never much good at drawing but each card was the same, a pretty crappy felt tip picture of that player scoring a goal in front of a packed Loft end.
I would post it to the player at the club address and ask for a signed photo.
Just been to find the photos I got back.
Got them from Simon Stainrod, Tony Sealy, Warren Neill, Ian Stewart, Gary Micklewhite, Terry Fenwick and my favourite player (hence my username on here) Peter Hucker.
Getting those photos in the post was just about the most exciting thing that had ever happened to me when I was 12!! |  | | |

Redknapp never replied to my brother, then again we later learnt he could neither read nor write. | | | |

I just asked for a short get well clip from any player and they were brilliant with it, my son ended up in tears seeing it, made him feel really special | | | |

It took a while
I love football always have always will whether watching or playing my favourite past time
Had a season ticket from the age of about 17 - mid 30’s by that point had two kids growing up and ditching them for the thick end of 7/8 hours on the weekend wasn’t feasible. I live in Essex so door to door it’s just under a couple of hours each way
He was not too bothered early doors and I made a conscious effort not to push him into it, he had the odd kit but nothing too much
About 18 months ago his friend at school was playing football so he wanted to do it too. That was grand but the thing that lit the flame was The Euros. He really got into it watching the England games staying up a bit late to watch them etc. He was gutted when the lost
This sparked wanting the trading cards which he swapped in the playground being in Essex ( a well known suburb of Manchester) he was told about Ronaldo returning etc and last Christmas wanted a Man U kit. Told him I didn’t think he’d get it but a relative got it for him, I said they could if it had been Chelsea it would have been no. He was also a big fan of Harry Kane due to England and asked if I’d take him to Spurs. My reply was I will take him there when Rangers play them but if not his options are Southend Rangers and England
We did Southend first as a taster. All went well 2-2 draw with Wrexham. Then he wanted to go to Rangers so we did Hull at how and Ilias scored so became his favourite. Did the England friendly in March and then Derby when he got all the players pics and autographs. When asking Chair for a pic he picked up my lad and sat him on the railing for it. Thought he was gonna wet himself (my lad not Ilias)
His Uncle bought him the new away kit with Chair 10 on the back and he’s hardly taken it off. Me and my brother are taking him to the Wigan game so he is buzzing
Long road with a few bumps along the way but perseverance has paid off

Hope your son’s hospital visit went well and that he’s on the mend now. |  |

My ST is next to duggout. If you give me the shirt before the game, i'll almost certainly get it signed by Ilias and hand it back to you afterwards. Message me if you want to give it a go. |  |
