Some of you will know Marilyn Demmen who organises the away coaches, she is also the club liaison with Stan Bowles' family. Last night she was telling a sad tale of how Stan has a knitted doll of him as young boy wearing his QPR kit and has mislaid it. it appears to be the only thing he can remember now and every time he remembers it and can't find it he starts pulling the place to find it and gets very upset when he can't find it.
She asked if I knew anyone who would be able to knit a replacement (or two in case he loses that one) as the family find it very upsetting to see him get in such a state. I told her I didn't but would flood the forums and SM that I use to see if there is anyone in the greater QPR family that could help out.
The specification is quite detailed, between 8-10" in height, blue & white QPR shirt with BOWLES on the back & No.10, No. 10 on white shorts, a young looking Stan? with his long hair and if possible, a football on his left foot.
If there is anyone one here who can help out, or know of someone, please contact me, or Marilyn if you know her, and we will try to get this done.
Thank you all in advance. [Post edited 24 Feb 2022 11:46]

Talking to Marilyn, we thought that if we got a few responses perhaps the surplus could be sold off (with the originators consent) to QPR fans and the money go towards Stan's hospice care. | |

I wish Marion luck with this.
The title has to be one of the strangest I've seen on this board  |  | | |

I now have 3 people offering to knit the figure now; 1 QPR fan and 2 people from my local FB group. I have just spoken to Marilyn on the phone and if she was to receive more than a couple of figures she would speak to Francis in the club shop about selling the surplus and donating the proceeds to Stan's care.
Clive Wilson Said may get his yet LOL. [Post edited 24 Feb 2022 14:56]

Yep, I could feel myself welling up when Marilyn was telling me the tale.
I think I am sorted out now, hopefully Stan will accept one of them. | |
