    From QPR to NVA

    For those of you who have felt aggrieved at having to miss a game due to a work conference, or wedding, here is a sobering letter from a 1969 QPR programme…

    “Dear Sir, I am an Englishman who emigrated to the USA in February 1968, by February 1969 I was in the US Army and now I am over in Vietnam fighting this war, but every week I get news clippings of the great QPR from a good friend of mine Bob Thorpe. If I ever get home to England the first Saturday I will be watching the only team – QPR.

    “Is there anybody reading this who would like to send me clippings or photographs of the great team?

    “Yours truly, the only QPR supporter in Vietnam – PFC Nils Guy 171447871 - CoD 1/35th Inf 4th Div.

    According to the letters editor Nils wrote two messages on the back of his envelope – ‘Give Peace a Chance’ and ‘QPR for the Cup!’

    Instead of watching Rodney Marsh and Tony Hazell at Loftus Road poor Nils was patrolling through the Vietnamese jungle waiting for the Viet Cong to ambush him.
