During the 1964–65 English football season, Queens Park Rangers competed in the Third Division and despite an outstanding 4th best home record, Qpr finished in Fourteenth place - largely due to only 2 away wins all season .^[1] In november Jim Gregory who had earlier turned down Fulham joined the QPR Board and became Chairman 5 months later. An unsuccessful attempt was made in January to sign 29 goal torquay forward Robin Stubbs with a £5,000 plus player exchange bid. In April, there was a sign of things to come as QPR's youth team were joint winners with Tottenham of the Southern Junior Floodlight Cup.
