Pre season friendly V QPR in 1990s

Hi all. Does anyone recollect a pre season game at the Valley Vs QPR in about 1996 or 1997? Think it finished 1-1 or possibly 1-2.

I was at this game. It was the first time my dad bought me a pint in the pub (Market Porter). A pint of Harvey's Sussex Best on a warm day...took one sip and couldn't drink anymore! Awful. He bought me a pint of cider instead which went down a lot better 🤣😂

We've had some weird friendlies over the years. Anyone remember the Bilbao one in 2008?

I remember when we played the Chinese national team in 1982 and we won 1-0 - I still have the programme

Steve White the scorer. Good player. Makeweight in Walsh move in the opposite direction.

I thought this was the one at Loftus where Julian Gray scored for us.

Yes Aduriz in the 88min for "lashing out" at John Fortune. Jerome Thomas also hit the post with a 41 min penalty.

I was there - lovely warm sunny day from recollection.

And I will never forget Ray Wilkins appearance - mainly due to the comedic overreactions from the guy behind me every time he touched the ball.

Every 5 yard sideways pass was greeted by “Ah - look - pure class. He’s still got it!!”…. Wilkins could have farted coming off the bench and he would have declared it the Greatest Storm since 1987.
