Massive thanks to Simon Dorset for this long read on former QPR manager Gordon Jago on the fiftieth anniversary of him first arriving at the club...

My all time favourite manager. I was absolutely gutted when he left.

Great read thanks,I used to go with my RaRa mate back then ( sadly no longer with us) and it was a great period for london football.The team was full of interesting characters some on their way up,others on their way down.

What a fine man! Is it really possible he's 87/88 years old in this interview - still so animated, switched-on and passionate about the game! I wish we still had him at QPR in any capacity.

Some of the comments about Jim Gregory do make Jim sound like a bit of a power-possessed jerk at times, and it's sad that JG's behaviour apparently precipitated Jago's resignation.

Loved Jago when I was a kid. He’s a very popular man in Dallas if you’re ever down that way.

Poll: Thank God The Seaons Over.

Great article. I knew that he was a brilliant manager for us but learnt a lot more about the man and his career. Thank you.

Fantastic article, very enjoyable read.

200 grand to play with, you wonder what he could do with 20 million. Great days when we had a Chairman, a manager, a set of players who the fans could believe in.

A few years ago a friend of my Dads , and his wife , were on a cruise in the Carrabbian , where they met a single gentleman who had recently lost his wfe. After a few meals together he told them about his life and involvement in football.Although extremeley modest he mentioned his achievements with various clubs and was especially proud of his time at QPR.

My Dads friend mentioned that my family and I , but not my Geordie Dad, were Rangers fans.Mr Jago asked them for their email address so he could contact us , when he returned to Texas.To cut a long story short we recieved a parcel from Texas a few months later with a signed Rangers shirt and a lovely message about how he enjoyed his time at the Rs and how he wished us well and for the return of the good times.

The shirt , now framed , hangs proudly on my sons bedroom wall. What a true gentleman and legend he is

Thank you Simon.

I will confess to being one of the consultants of his time with Rangers, but I'd not seen the whole package & there was a lot of information that I was unaware of.

I will go to my grave with Gordon being my favourite manager & I can't imagine that we will have a side that rivals the Jago team in my affections!

Hopefully we will reach the time when I can once again meet Simon in the pub before games & then stand next to each other in the back row of MU!
