Tom 14021 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 QPR have been given clearance by the Football League for all their players to wear shirts with Ray Jones' name on the back against Southampton. Striker Jones was tragically killed in a car accident last week and the Rangers' players came up with the shirt idea as a fitting tribute. "In conjunction with the players, we have decided that this would be an appropriate way of publicly remembering Ray," QPR boss John Gregory told the club's website. After the visit of Southampton on Saturday the number 31 shirt will be retired in memory of Jones. TeamTalk Good on them TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22549 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 call me cynical but i wonder whether they'd have retired the number 9 shirt if that was his. 31 is hardly the most fashionable. still a nice gesture though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
