Used to post on here, can’t remember his user name but his avatar was a photo of himself dressed as a clown.
Sadly lost his long fight against cancer today . |  |

Yep, seeing that earlier has put a downer on tonight's win. Wasn't he Hampshire R or something similar?
Only chatted to him via Facebook, but he really gave it a bloody good fight.
Sleep well sir, you deserve the rest |  |

Chris was HantsHoop. I made friends with him when he wrote on these pages that he was physically unable to get to Loftus Road anymore as his wife couldn't take him. I offered to take him, and this became a regular thing as I became his carer and we sat in the front row of the Loft. I was initially pleased as my seat was free, but unfortunately he had little money, so I had to pay my share.😄 Sitting in the front row could be dangerous, especially when the team were warming up and on one occasion I had to protect Chris' head from Taraabt thunderbolts! Given that he suffered from brain tumours and leukemia, this was quite an important action although we laughed when the crowd chanted, "sign him up!" to me! It's not disrespectful to say that he wasn't a natural friend for me but we developed a friendship based on our love of QPR and sometimes wicked humour. Once, after a great home game, my car broke down near the ground and we didn't get home till the wee hours of the morning, somehow it wasn't as bad as could have been and we kept our cool and sense of humour throughout. Eventually, he was no longer able to travel the long journey from Locks Heath and I returned to SAR. However, we enjoyed a few great seasons together with promotion, survival and relegation. I visited him several times in his flat, even took him fishing before he moved away to Hindhead, then ending his days in Scunthorpe. Sandy his wife kept me in touch over the final period of his life, which ended today after he lost his battle with leukemia. I wish he could have seen tonight's game, I felt very sad that he didn't.

A fabulous post HantsR. Thanks for restoring the faith.
There are times when I get so fed up with the Rs that I can't even face this site for a week or so. But reading a thread like this one reminds me why I still love this community of nutters.
RIP Chris. It seems pleasing that the Rs conjured up an improbable win for you. |  | | |

Bloody hell, what mixed emotions.
This forum never ceases to amaze me. One minute we are talking about burgers and if QPR were a movie and then you read a post like that. Mr Honney called it earlier when he said there's always a post around Christmas that puts everything into perspective and this could be the one for this year.
There are real hero's walking amongst us but we never see them.
Respect to you sir and RIP to Chris. [Post edited 28 Nov 0:20]

RIP Hantshoop and RIP for your dad Hampton
They won the game for us up there , although if it's true heaven perhaps we ate winning the Champions League every week.
Am sure they both having fun but yes tough times for those down here without them in person.
Their spirit and soul lives on until you meet again.
When my dad passed three years ago, last time I saw him, he said I will always be with you and likewise for your losses.
Take care all.. [Post edited 28 Nov 0:32]
