His career would have been over by now so maybe time to restore the number? Not sure I’d want to wear it though.

May be different in Scandinavia but wrong side of road and over the speed limit, I cannot think of a plausible defence,

You shouldn't apologise for raising the issue as it has created fascinating discussion and debate which is something the club have never carried out into the matter. As you say in 3 years time it will be 2 decades since he died and no-one under 25 would have memories of seeing him play, in 10 years that becomes under 35 years old and in another 10 only those over 45 would have memories of him. He was a QPR player but also a criminal who killed 2 people through his actions and if it had been just a few hours before that number would have been higher. Criminal? I think it was a young lad who made a tragic and stupid mistake. Wasn’t deliberate. I do agree that he shouldn’t appear in squad list. Time to move on. What do you class death by dangerous driving? A crime or a peccadillo? He was a criminal who would have served a number of years in prison.

This isn’t worth falling out over.

If we can name a stand the Achilles Security Stand we can move on from Ray Jones.

Cant believe this still going on. You dont know exactly what happened,were you there no witnesses these things are part of life. Maybe he swerved to avoid someone on his side of the road? Its tragic but ffs leave it at that. R.I.P.means what it says.
