    “It costs the charity £50,000 per dog, from birth to retirement, and there are around 5,000 dogs in the UK – they do a fantastic job and need to be supported. QPR have agreed to sponsor a dog which is brilliant.”

    We've sponsored many a dog over the past couple of years, about time we sponsored a decent one, this a four-legged one, good news!

    Poor bastard,hope his eyesight isn't going completely. A lot of our old legends aren't having a good time of it these days,shame.Guide dogs do a fantastic job,and make a real difference to the lives of the unfortunate people who need them. Me and the missus have been giving money towards them for years now,ever since her old man lost his sight in an accident.

    its strange but looking back he was my favourite player of our greatest ever season although stan was all our favourite player but for one season only dave thomas was player of the year for me i think he got twelve goals,and thats so very impressive for a creative winger i copied his style when i played on the right wing,i neveer wore shinpads and the girls used to say i had the best legs in the team
    THOSE WERE THE DAYS
    LOVE YOU DAVIE YOU WERE THE BEST EVER WINGER EVER TO PLAY FOR QPR WITH ANDY SINTON BEING THE SECOND BEST

    well how i found out me ol legs were gone,although i played right wing i used to take some of our goalkicks it was a secret weapon i used to be able to hit the ball with so much power i could drop the ball inside the oposition box and we used to score some goals out of this,so like many an old git in my dreams i can see myself all decked out in my kit,and i can in my dreams see these amazing goal kicks
    BUT IN THE REAL WORLD I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW LEATHER BALL AND BRAND NEW BOOTS AND FOOTBALL SOCKS,SHORTS,AND A SHIRT
    WELL I WENT BACK TO THE SAME OLD PITCH I USED TO PLAY ON IT WAS MARKED OUT AND THERE WAS ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ABOUT I LOOKED
    AND MADE SURE THAT ALL THERE HEADS WERE LOOKING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THEN I PUT THE BALL DOWN JUST LIKE I DID ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
    LOOKING AT THE OTHER GOAL AREA AT THE END OF THE PITCH I PUT ALL MY CONCENTRATION LEVELS INTO OPERATION I RUN AT THIS BRAND NEW LEATHER FOOLTBALL AND I HIT IT WITH ALL MY MIGHT
    instead of it going up into the high ilke a missile it didnt even leave the floor it skidded along the floor and just about made the half way ;line
    I COULD HAVE CRIED MY EYES OUT AS I DROVE HOME I DROPPED OF THE BOOTS AND BALL AND KIT INTO THE LOCAL CHARITY SHOP AND NEVER SAID A WORD
    so that the state of things,im past it even the police spottters at northampton pointed at me and laughed,its all gone terribley wrong hammersmith junior you are my minder now

    OH LORD JESUS IN THE SKY
    I KNOW NOT ALL MIRACLES ARE ANSWERD BUT I DONT KNOW WHY
    GIVE MY DAVIE HIS ONE AND ONLY DREAM
    TO KEEP HIS EYESIGHT,,SO HE COULD SEE A BEAUTIFULL STREAM
    HE GAVE US SO MUCH FUN CHARGING DOWN THAT WING
    ITS ONLY FAIR THAT HE CAN WAKE UP AND SEE A ROBIN SING
    OH DAVIE ITS MY WILDEST HOPE
    I HOPE YOUR LADY STAYS WITH YOU TO HELP YOU COPE
    BEING ALONE IS NEVER VERY A GOOD THING
    BUT IF SHE CARED FOR YOU HOW MUCH JOY THAT COULD BRING
    THATS MY PRAYER LORD I KNOW GRAMATICALLY IT AINT MUCH GOOD
    BUT I WISHED YOU COULD HELP LOVELY DAVIE I WISHED YOU COULD

    Super Dave with his silky skills
    He gave us all so many thrills
    Our memories of him will never wane
    So please restore his sight again.

    I never saw Dave Thomas play,
    He graced our turf before my day,
    I'm still quite young, although I look old,
    I've got wrinkly skin and am totally bald,
    My balls swing low between my knees,
    I get blown down by the slightest breeze,
    My IQ's low, my muscles weak,
    My nose looks more like a parrot's beak,
    My knees are nobbly, my hands are small,
    I stand a mighty 5 feet tall,
    I'm awkward, clumsy, full of gas,
    I've never touched a naked lass,
    A joke am I, a worthless man,
    I should have been a Chelsea fan.

    With socks down at his ankles
    That he didn't win more England caps always rankles
    His trickery mesmerised the opposition
    And often beat them into submission
    His crosses always hit the spot
    From which we scored more often than not
    He is only about five foot two
    But when you played against him you always knew
    As a defender you'd be turned inside out
    Which would usually result in a rout

    im not sure about my poetry really it all strted with my very first poem about the murder of the young qpr starlet from hendon i was really shook up about it and i just
    blasted out the very first poem in my life
    my lack of vocabury means i keep using the same words to rhyme i know many a great poets didnt even care about the stuff all rhyming,but the whole learning curve
    of my life would be complete if i knew a sight that could teach me about finding out how to further my poetry
    a lot of people love crosswords i find poetry the same kind of theraputic buzz
