As football fans we all have our favourites and rivals but when such a tragic event such as this takes place, it hits home that an incident like this unites us all in grief for a young lad who has been taken in his prime.

As 2 sets of fans we've given each other a bit of hammer in recent years but this sort of thing puts it all in perspective.

RIP Ray, and those who died with him, from an overseas Stokie. Condolences to family, friends and supporters.

My "local" club (Red Bull New York) have a fantastic striker (Josmer Altidore) just about to turn 18 and surely bound for greatness. I can begin to imagine how devastated all RBNY fans would be if the same happened to Jozy gives me some idea what you lot are going through.

RIP

-RJ

Such bad news.

RIP from Swansea.

-RPark

Such a waste. I teach in the Uxbridge area. And we have had a lot of support from the QPR FC. I heard that Ray was an excellent prospect. He would have been 19 on Tuesday. It has not been a good week with the passing of Anton and the little lad from Liverpool. It puts things into perspective. Life is precious.

So sorry to hear your news today.

It is doubly poignant for Walsall fans as we lost one of our 16 year old players this week, Anton Reid, who collapsed and died during training.

Our words will not help at the moment, but let's hope all relatives, friends and fans of QPR will draw strength from the knowledge that the whole football community is thinking about you.

R.I.P RAY
