In memory of Ray Jones, QPR players involved in this weekend's home fixture against Southampton will all carry the name 'Ray Jones' on the back of their shirts, following clearance from the Football League.

The talented striker, who would have been 19 today (Tuesday), was tragically killed in a motor accident last Saturday morning.

As a way of remembering their team-mate, the players have come up with the idea of donning shirts with the youngster's name on their backs.

Manager John Gregory told www.qpr.co.uk: "In conjunction with the players, we have decided that this would be an appropriate way of publicly remembering Ray."

Following Saturday's fixture against Southampton, the number 31 shirt will be officially retired in memory of Jones.
