Hello
at 10:44 22 Dec 2022

Long-time lurker. Hello.
As one of the sweepstake winners I felt I should introduce myself.

I became a QPR supporter in 1976. Why, not sure. Probably it was too easy to pick Liverpool. My brother is a mad Watford fan so not sure why I didn’t follow him either. I guess I just wanted something different.

First player I remember really liking was Jonny Byrne but really the first star was Sir Les. I spent a few seasons standing in the Lower Loft watching him tearing up the top division. Just power and pace combined that I had never seen before. Had a season ticket for a few seasons and went on a few away days on the LSA coaches. Maine Road on a cold Tuesday night for a 0-0 in the League Cup not a highlight, but a 1-0 win at Coventry that put us top of the Premier League was special.

Another player that made an impression around that time was Devon White. Not necessarily one that springs to mind but he did things differently. A law unto himself. He made the easy things look really hard, but there would be moments of brilliance. He was able to use his arse or his elbow to get stuff done. Hated it when he started as 90 minutes was far too long for him to be on the football pitch but those 15-20 minute cameos were exciting and I still remember them (apparently fondly)!

After the season ticket went (due to mortgage/marriage/children) I always have tried to visit at least 2-3 times a season. Enjoyed/endured both playoff trips. Bobby Zamora, nuff said. Also remember Andy Thomson at the Millennium Stadium…....Was able to take my wife to one and my daughter to the other so trying to add to the fan base. More success getting my daughter back to W12 however and we try and do the 2-3 visits together (her going to Uni may change that).

Didn’t like the Redknapp, Hughes, Premiership money seasons when QPR didn’t really do very well on all levels. We are QPR. We have always had players with limited ability but they used to give 100%, the Premier league bought us into the realm of players playing for money. Started to lose interest at the time when we should have been top of the world….

So now we are back being QPR. Not that I like us being skint but we know where are, trying to compete with limited resources and we are doing ok. We can be a joy to watch, and the anticipation is still there that we can produce good successful football at this level. Am looking forward to the rest of this season as when fit, we can match anybody. Confidence seems to be everything though with this squad.

Apologises for the ramble. If you are still reading.... Merry Christmas to you all. I hope you all can have a good time in whatever shape or form it takes, and good luck for 2023.

Oh, and a nice strong cheddar should you be wondering.
