Reply | QPR's newly acquired strike power downs Disney FC - Report
at 14:11 15 Sep 2025
Many thanks Jamie, lovely report. I was certainly brought up with Don Givens and was really energised by Allen, Goddard and Gallen and of course Ferdinand, Helgusson, Furlong and Austin. I am getting excited over the potential of our new strike force. |

Hi James, the club photographers that were covering QPR before me were John Brough and Keith Crackenden. In those days, the photographer owned the copyright and not the club. Old photographic library’s were often sold to big agencies like Getty. Most of my QPR negs were sold when my old company got brought out.
The photo calls were always attended by the agencies, club photographer and local/provincial newspapers. I certainly remember processing portraits of Brian for the London News and Standard.
Try Getty, they used to have a QPR fan working in their library, they might be able to send you something being that it’s a special occasion. Good luck with your project. |

Thanks Clive, another fabulous report which has really cheered me up.
When I was a photographer covering England games in the 80’s and 90’s, my agency always sold more photos when England got beaten. I got a record amount of publications in 1988 due to Englands poor performance in the Euro Nations. England’s failures always provoked more hard copy. So I am not surprised that LFW receives more traffic after a defeat, as an avid reader and silent lurker, I certainly notice it. |

Gordon Jago gave me Dave Thomas, Stan Bowles and Don Givens. The foundation of a team that played with style and panache. A team that I grew to love and has given me so much over the years. It all started for me with Jago’s philosophy and he has given me a relationship with the R’s that has become such a personal and often emotional journey. I am really gutted by this sad news. |

Good luck Lorna.
interesting survey. I would have answered the questions very differently when in my 20’s/30’s but now as a 63 yo, I work for a large mental health charity and facilitate support groups for men that have lived experience of abuse in childhood. I am a strong advocate of talking therapy’s and peer group support.

Many thanks Clive for all your wonderful previews and match reports. You have the knack of making me feel involved, motivated to keep the faith, making me laugh out loud over miserable results and making me shed the occasional emotional tear which I have done on three occasions this season.
Thank you Clive for making sure that I will return next season for the next chapter and I now know better than to sit behind you in F block! |

I am genuinely really emotional on receiving this deeply sad news, Ron gave me an extraordinary opportunity to be club photographer when I was 17. I was allowed to serve my apprenticeship for many seasons with the club and I went on to have a wonderful career as a sports photographer. I have so many happy memories of Mr Phillips. He allowed me to play a very small part in the history of my beloved R's.

Wow! That was a dreadful listen, I had to turn it off after 30 mins. An awful rambling rant. |

How old are your children?
I grew up in a house with stuff like this happening over a five year period. The best explanation given was that my sister and I were going through puberty at the same time as my parents were going through a marriage crises.
We all saw the man who appeared regularly wearing a brown checked zoot suit. He would appear whilst friiends were around too.
I hope this helps. |

This famous transparency was brought for £50 off a local photographer working for a small provincial Mexican newspaper. £50 was a small fortune to the snapper. I can only estimate how much the copyright has earned since. Out of all the snappers that were at the match (me included), only this pic shows the incident clearly. The shot wasn't even taken with a motor drive! |

The commentary on Talksport was truly dreadful. Gareth A Davies makes my skin crawl! It ruined the fight for me. |
