'Whilst at the Rangers, Mike recalled that about an hour before kick-off, he would walk from
Thorpebank Road to the ground, chatting to the fans as he went.

After a short talk about the match, he would get changed and following some instructions,
he would have a five-minute warm-up.

At half-time it would usually be a cup of tea or an orange, whilst the smokers in the team
would also nip into the toilets! A quick shower after the game before walking back to his digs.'

Mike sadly passed away on 18th July.
May he Rest in Peace.

Nice work with the photo Steve R and all the other insights and info. An era of football at QPR FC long gone.

I still find in strange that in Gordon Macey's players records there is no mention of the Mike Hellawell transfer Fee.
