Legacy Numbers

[3London]

the Club has issued a legacy number for every player that has ever played a game for QPR.

Norrington Davis became the 1219th player to play for us.

when you look at the list there has been aloof deadwood over the recent years!

Is there a marketing thing behind this, or just pure history?

It is interesting to note that there were only three new debuts made when games resumed after the end of WW1. So most of the squad survived the Great War....??

But there were seven new debuts given when games started again after WW2, so it seems the squad was badly affected by that war.
