    Just heard that our former full back Chris Barker has passed away. He famously played in the QPR play off final at the Millennium in 2003. Ironic that we played them again today. RIP Bluebird.

    I can actually remember Barker playing so he can’t have been that old?

    RIP

    Shocking news and so sad. Leaves behind a young family. We really need more funding and support for those with mental health issues. RIP Bluebird :sad:

    Sad news.... Devastating for his family..... Illnesses you can see you can deal with eventually but illness connected to the mind is very rarely diagnosed and thanks to our government even less money will be available for a rising trend of mental health.

    Sad very sad indeed rest in peace brother

    QPR fan in peace. It is a shame that someone who played for so many clubs couldn't reach out to someone for help.
    Condolences to his friends and family
    RIP Chris

    Chris Barker was a fantastic left back who gave everything for the team. A true Cardiff City player who was loved by fans for his hardwork and determination. Gone way to soon RIP CB you will always be remembered by the Bob bank !!
