The RIP Thread

RIP Phil, one of the true greats from that era. Key member of the fabulous Welsh side, the Lions and the Ba Ba's. The owner of probably the greatest sidestep of all time who famously started Edwards iconic try with 3 of them !

 

put a lot of effort into that haka
lol

 

Wonderful rocket powered, mercurial player. RIP

 

Absolutely gutted to announce the passing of my mate Andy. A few of you on here would know him. We were like partners in crime watching the Rangers… never a sober game. One of the best days out was the play off final where he was on top form. I have so many stories to tell but Is hard enough writing this. He was a season ticket holder in the Paddock with his young daughter. People that knew him would describe him as a loveable guy. He worked at a school and would wear his QPR top every morning when the kids arrived. Sadly he passed away on Sunday doing a triathlon, the thing he loved best after Rangers,
My love and thoughts go out to his wife, son ( also QPR) and his 2 young daughters.
RIP mate I will never forget our time watching the R’s x

 

So sorry to here that Ellers, my thoughts are with his family & you RIP Andy

 

Rip Andy

 

Sorry to hear that, Ellers.

RIP Andy.

 

Sorry to hear this sad news, Ellers. RIP Andy

 

Thank you all. x

 

Sad story Ellers, hope his family can remember all the good times. RIP

 

That's a lovely tribute....... different era, different style of game but skills that are not seen these days......

 

Sorry to hear this news Ellers......

 

Sorry for your sad news Ellers. Condolences.

 

Condolences Ellers and to your mate's family. Always sad to hear of anyone's passing especially a fellow hoop. I'm sure you have some wonderful memories and maybe the club could put a few words about him in the opening home game programme of the new season ? I personally think that all hoops supporters that pass away should get an honourable mention in the following programme with a few words from the owners, it's the least they deserve after following our club with such passion ! Thinking of you pal

 

Thanks mate. I hope the club do mention it in a programme. He was a very popular fella at HQ and will be sorely missed. I think over the last 12-14 years I can count on one hand the amount of games I went to without him. It won’t ever be the same for me. Sadly due to work commitments our last game together was the 4-0 win against Reading. We met up with Watford in the before the game. I still remember us on the train home drinking and singing and him telling me that I needed to get my arse back to HQ more. I will talk with the family later this week and see if we can arrange something with QPR.

 

Condolences to you Ellers. Losing a best mate like that must be like losing a brother.
Remember all those great times together and times following the SuperHoops!

Condolences to Andy’s family too - clearly taken from his family far too young and will be a terrible terrible loss for them.

 

Very sad to hear about Andy. A lovely guy and no age at all.

 

agree mate.

 

one of the most iconic moments in sport. Rest in Peace Phil and to fellow hoop Andy
