The headline: Queen's Park Rangers: Basingstoke resident watches last game.
It's about a very elderly fan going to one last game.

Lovely story, thanks for sharing 👍 |  |

Assuming he went in his teens, he might remember winning the old 3rd Division South and maybe went to the old White City Stadium the first time round.
True living history. |  | | |

Fantastic and to have his last game at 95 as a 4 nil triumph is brilliant !!
Almost every match as I leave the stadium i say that's the last time ever I go there. |  |

Thats my Uncle Peter , my late dads brother . One of 12 children
We all had season tickets in Ellerslie Road . I was given the heads up that he was going to the game by family members so went down early to see him .
The club were brilliant , finding out where he was dining and just taking me and my eldest boy up to see him . It was great , the closest thing i will ever get to my Dad and the last Williamson of that generation to go to LR . Great memories of playing golf at Ruislip going to his place for breakfast(he lived in West Ruislip then ) Rangers in the afternoon .
Thanks for posting this Digs , I will show my Mum . She will love to see it [Post edited 22 Mar 9:01]

Wow that's brilliant for you essextaxiboy and heart warming for your mum too. I'm guessing he first went to Rangers about 85 years ago, which means around 1940. | | | |
