Queen's Park Rangers Football Club

Categories: Sport / Games

Formed from the merger of the St Jude's and Christchurch Rangers football teams. The name derives from the fact that most of the players came from the Queen's Park area of London. They have played in sixteen different locations and are now settled at Loftus Road in West London.
