QPR OFFICIAL SITE - TONY INGHAM
Posted on: Thu 22 Apr 2010It is with great sadness that Queens Park Rangers Football Club has learned of the passing of former player and Director, Tony Ingham. Tony, who made a record 548 appearances for the Club, died on Wednesday afternoon following a recent illness. After serving his apprenticeship at Leeds United, Tony's QPR career began on November 25th 1950 in a home fixture against Doncaster Rovers. He went on to make 514 League appearances and 34 Cup appearances, scoring three goals. To this day, he holds the Club record of making 273 successive League (251) and Cup (22) appearances between February 25th 1956 and September 12th 1962; including five seasons as an ever-present. He played his last match for the R's against Halifax, before retiring in 1963. However, his love affair with the Super Hoops continued thereafter, assisting on the commercial side of the business. After fulfilling a variety of roles off the pitch, he became a Commercial Director in 1981 - a role he enjoyed at the Club he always called his own. His son, David, said: "Tony was QPR through and through. This was his Club and he enjoyed some of the finest moments of his wonderful life playing for the Hoops." If you would like to send a message of condolence to Tony's family, please e-mail mr.ingham@hotmail.co.uk Details of Tony's funeral will follow in due course. The thoughts of the Club are with Tony's family and friends at this sad time. Tony Ingham - R.I.P *The Club will be paying its respects to Tony Ingham at our fixture against Newcastle United on the final day of the season. Further details will follow in due course. www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~2032103,00.html A Week Later

Lovely picture, strip silky, shame about the hoops, or lack of them, although I know at least one R we know who will be drooling over the white shirt. And the proper badge  . Nice touch from Bushman with the programme, and the Rs scoring in murky weather on a muddy pitch. Now everything is so brilliantly green and technicolour and the grounds so enclosed the weather hardly seems to come into it. |

I wonder how many reading these postings will understand the significance of the ABC Half Time scores list? Who needs digital technology? Kerrins, you young poet, couldn't have put it better myself. |

Been lucky and priveledged enough to have met the man once. Very nice humble guy. Alan macDonald was with him in the club shop one day in 1985 when I rolled in from NZ.

Great stuff Ian. We could use a couple of fullbacks right now like Ingham. By the way, what happened to our Ingham on line. Seems he hasn't posted for years?
