This was my first ever QPR match and got me hooked. My Dad who was an R since the 40s took me along and we sat in SA Road. It was in 1979 and a midweek match

He also died while still quite a young man, I think.

I remember that game.
We were laughing rather than cheering in the end.
Am I right in thinking it was a featured match on the telly too?

Yes, a brain haemorrage at 41.
And yes, it was on The Big Match.

Yes I seem to remember it was on the Big Match the following day with the late great Brian Moore

I must've been there - just don't remember it. No wonder I'm a miserable sod if I can't remember 7-0 wallopings dished out by the Rs!
