Q: Hi David! How's it going? So how long have you been a QPR fan?

A: I became a QPR fan 43 years ago when we made the 1982 FA Cup final.

And why QPR? Well, they were in their red and black away strip - perfect for a Bombers fan!

2. Watching QPR beat Derby 1-0 in the 2014 EFL Championship play-off final with so many other fellow Hoops Down Under fans at the Turf Sports Bar in Melbourne!

Q: Who is your all time favourite QPR Player? And Why?

A: Roy Wegerle - his 'Goal of the Season' in 1990/91 was just magnificent 🤌

Q: Who is your all time favourite QPR Manager? And Why?

A: Neil Warnock - had the team playing superbly... yet it could have been so much more!
