Today's #QPR Birthday: John Delve - Turns 67

[QPR Report]

Former QPR defensive Midfielder, John Delve Turns 67:

Born September 27, 1953. A "Home grown" player, John Delve was given his debut by Gordon Jago in December 1972 at Luton. Delve was a defensive midfielder who along with another home-grown youngster, John Beck, seemed to be the perennial substitute for much of our 1972/1973 season.
For the next couple of season, Delve and Beck were QPR midfield back ups -especially to Gerry Francis - either when Francis was injured, or if Francis played forward (as he did a couple of times when Stan Bowles was suspended!).
For QPR's opening game back in Division One, (August 25, 1973: QPR 1 Southampton 1)
under Gordon Jago/Bobby Campbell, Delve replaced the suspended Gerry Francis.

Delve joned Plymouth in July 1974. He subsequently played for Exeter and Hereford totalling almost 500 league games.
