QPR XI: Gerry Francis, Ray Wilkins, Trevor Challis, Les Ferdinand, Kevin Gallen, Richard Langley, Darren Peacock and Andy Sinton.

Also to go along with the shirt is the match programme and a ticket stub from the Alan McDonald tribute match. Thanks in advance to anyone who bids on the items and best of luck in the bidding.
