QPR legend Brian Bedford dead at 88: Hoops’ second-highest scorer ever passes away

Breaking

'DEEPLY SADDENED'

QUEENS PARK RANGERS legend Brian Bedford has passed away aged 88, the club confirmed.

The striker netted 180 goals in a six-year spell with the west Londoners, the second most in Rangers' history.

Part of a QPR statement read: "The club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Brian Bedford at the age of 88."

It added: "The thoughts of everyone at QPR are with his family and friends at this sad time.

"May he rest in peace."

First joining QPR from Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic in 1959, Bedford didn't score less than 25 goals in any one of his six-seasons at the club.

The Welshman also spent time with Southampton, Scunthorpe and the Atlanta Chiefs in America, plus a short spell down the road from QPR at Brentford.

But it was at Loftus Road, now the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, where Bedford made the most impact.
