QPR stories, told by the people who lived them. An archive of the supporters, memories and connections that make Queens Park Rangers mean so much to so many.
rconnection.substack.com (https://rconnection.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast)
For supporters who watched Rangers in the early nineties, Andy Sinton will always be part of that wonderful side under Gerry Francis. But after leaving QPR in 1993, Andy lost his connection with the club entirely.
In this episode, Andy talks about his playing days, the influence of Ray Wilkins and the night he returned to Loftus Road with his son after more than twenty years away.
We also discuss his work with Forever R’s, the joy of commentating on the club he loves and why making sure former players still feel part of QPR means so much to him.
This is Andy Sinton’s R Connection.

Ben Jacobs — There’s Always Someone
From his first visit to Loftus Road aged five to building his own network of contacts covering QPR’s academy, Ben has spent much of his young life following Rangers and trying to discover the next generation of players before the rest of us have even heard their names.
We talk about family, Wembley in 2014, why he and his dad never leave a match early, and the possibility that somewhere in the academy right now is a future QPR hero.
Four generations of supporters behind him. A new generation of players ahead.
This is Ben Jacobs’ R Connection.

Martin Percival: What We Keep
Martin’s family have been following Queens Park Rangers since around 1895. His grandfather Will, his father Frank and then Martin himself. Three generations and more than 130 years of QPR history.
But this conversation is about much more than football.
Martin shares his father’s extraordinary story of surviving the Burma Railway, the family collection of QPR memorabilia he rebuilt after the war, and how a childhood autograph from Dave Thomas eventually became a friendship.
We talk about the origins of Forever R’s, the importance of remembering the people who have shaped our club, and the stories that pass between generations of supporters.
And we discover why, after a lifetime following Rangers, two words from Martin’s father still mean so much.
Keep the faith.
This is Martin Percival’s R Connection.

WILL & TILLY: YOU’RE NEVER ON YOUR OWN
Will Pound and Tilly Chamberlain met because of QPR. It started with a message after a miserable defeat at Barnsley and, four years later, they were married - with Pig Bag playing at the wedding.
They talk about following Rangers home and away, the friendships they’ve made along the way, Tilly’s QPR artwork and why the club has given them a community that reaches far beyond the football.
As Tilly puts it: “If there’s a QPR shirt, you’re never on your own.”
