Comedian and lifelong QPR fan Bill Bailey speaks exclusively to QPR: The Official Magazine in our summer issue.
The legendary comic loves nothing more than a quick chin-wag about the beautiful game, but as QPR: The Official Magazine discovered, his quirky, humorous side is never far away.
So why did he grow up following the Super Hoops?
"My first flat in London was in Queens Park, and I have a lingering affection for the place," he told us.
"What intrigued me was there was no sign of any football; there wasn't much of a park; and as for the Queen, well, she was never there. Where is this Queen's Park and where are the Rangers? It was a little puzzle I had to solve.
"I've been in West London ever since and I always like to 'shop local,' so it had to be Rangers. I now live in Hammersmith."
Also inside Issue Three - available in the QPR Superstore for just £3.99 on Saturday 11th July - we speak to R's gaffer Jim Magilton, and former Rangers boss Ian Holloway invites us in to his Bath residence in our popular 'At Home With ...' feature.
And don't worry if you can't make it down to the QPR Superstore next weekend, we'll have two sellers on hand at our friendly fixture against Aldershot Town on Saturday afternoon - so you can read all about it, first and fastest!
