JIM LANGLEY R.I.P It is with great sadness that Queens Park Rangers Football Club has learned of the passing of former player Jim Langley.
Jim, who played in our 1967 League Cup Final triumph over West Bromwich Albion, died suddenly following a heart attack in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Having joined QPR in the apparent 'twilight' of his career from Fulham at the age of 36 in July 1965, Jim shared in one of the Club's most glorious seasons.
The talented full-back was an ever-present in his first season with the R's and the following year was a key member of the side which won the League Cup and Third Division title.
Previously with Yiewsley, Hayes, Brentford, Leeds United and Brighton before his switch to Fulham, Jim left Rangers shortly after our '67 success to manage Hillingdon Borough.
He made almost 650 League appearances overall and was only the second full-back to score 50 League goals. Jim also won England 'B' and Football League representative honours.
Jim's funeral takes place at Breakspear Crematorium, Ruislip on Friday 21st December at 2.15pm. A wake will follow at Hillingdon Borough FC, which is located next to the Crematorium.
His son, Peter, said: "Anyone who would like to come along to the funeral and/or wake are more than welcome."
If you would like to send a message of condolence to Jim's family, you can do so by e-mailing Peter at theplaceforframes@fsmail.net
The thoughts of the Club are with Jim's family and friends at this sad time.
