  • R.I.P Keith Cassidy

    Posted by Stephen Cross both on the LSA and Indyrs.

    One of the most loyal QPR fans from Northern Ireland passed away yesterday after a fall at his work. Aged in his early 40's Keith had been a regular at Loftus Road since the late 70's and to date had clocked up 100 plus games, not bad for a fella who lived in Limavady.

    Many of you will have know him as he was a regular face in the various hostelries in West London. He always enjoyed a drink and crack, but the love of his life was QPR. He had over 150 badges stretching back decades and was an avid programme collector. I think he was missing literally a handful from the last 30 years of home games and had some going back to the 1940's. I visited his house in 2002 and it was an absolute shrine to the R's, I can only imagine with a further 7 years of purchases you probably could not get through the door.

    For a burly fella he was a big softie at heart, he always talked about how he would love to take his Ma to a game before she got too old to travel and his dream came true last December when his ma Kate came to watch us beat Wolves 1 - 0. Him and her had a great day together and she enjoyed the laughs with the rest of us.

    I will never forget him as we travelled together up on 70 times over and back to Loftus Road. We all used to laugh at the amount of stuff he bought in the club shop and that it was only because of him that the club still existed, judging by the amount of gear he bought.

    His funeral is on Sunday in Limavady, but I cannot make it. I will go to his home tomorrow and pay my respects to his family.

            thanks for putting that up Paul.
            We are all shocked and saddened by the death of a great mate.
            his next game was to be his 100th home game.
            saw him in his coffin today with his qpr shirt on,really choked me up.
            weve had some magic trips with Keith and im sure he will always be with us in spirit.
            RIP mate
