It is with great sadness that the Club has learned of the death of former player, Ray Drinkwater. He was 76.

Ray joined QPR in 1957, following a short time with Portsmouth.

The talented goalkeeper made more than 200 appearances for the R's during a six-year stay, before going on to finish his career with Southern League team Bath City.

He died on Tuesday, following a brief illness.

The thoughts of the Club are with his wife Brenda, family and friends at this difficult time.
