This is really interesting.

Y'know a lot of people forget that up until the "Big Freeze" set in Jan 63 we were doing quite well and the venture was not all Bad.

There were some great wins and some good games Nov/ Dec 1962 Hull 4-1 Reading 3-2 Hinckley 7-2..and at Christmas we were right in the promotion hunt.

Sadly from the end of Jan 63 it went pear shaped big timeand in the end I was watching us lose at home to Coventry 1-3 in front of approx 2'500 spectators.

Maybe we should have kept Frank Large and what if our star signing centre half Dugdale had not got an injury which finished his career.

Blimey! My admiration and amazement continues to grow! ;D

Bushman..I have just had a further study of this very interesting White City thread of yours and perhaps you could help me with some clarification.

Did Brian Bedford or John Collins suffer an illness(jaundice??) during this campaign which would have obviously been a further blow to the teams efforts.

My memory has failed me here. Shame on me.

Collins played only 2 games in 4 months. Dec-Mar. So I would go with John Collins.

I just cant keep away from this. I am a nostalgia addict

In that photo of the supporters club commitee there is Martin Fitzmaurice..The Famous Darts Commentator..One HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ;D

The sad part is that shortly after this photo was taken he disappeared from the scene and in this current day he has airbrushed QPR out of his personal history.

In the late 1950's when I first started going to Loftus Rd he was always to be seen on the halfway line and was responsible for that unique chant...
