The club's historian Gordon Macey has sadly passed away.

You may not have even heard of his name but if you've followed this site in recent years you've certainly read his stats.

Even in this digital age his QPR History book was my first port of call for anything QPR related going back before the 2000's.

You could always trust his work and he will certainly live on through his stats and his books.

My thoughts are with his wife and family.

I read the club's website interview with him and that really helped to get an understanding of him. Sounds like a really nice bloke who has ended up doing a job he loved - rare in these times. His contribution to the club will probably never be fully appreciated but I am sure it is considerable. RIP.

Proudly supporting QPR

I wonder on many occasion if he would update his book. Sadly this will now not happen RIP Gordon Macey

RIP Gordon.
Another revered stalwart of the club gone, very sad.

I remember when Daphne Biggs passed away and how I felt I had lost part of my childhood love of QPR.
Despite our day-to-day focus on the players, it's people like Gordon and Daphne that make the club what it is.

Thoughts and prayers with his family.

I believe a lot of the groundwork was done scouring old records and newspapers in the pre Internet days.

Your book has given us all countless memories of joy. For me it is an important link to a club that is so far away from my home. Thankyou for your wonderful, humble service.
