# 1964–65 Queens Park Rangers F.C. season

During the 1964–65 English football season, Queens Park Rangers competed in the Third Division and despite an outstanding 4th best home in the league home record, Qpr finished in Fourteenth place - largely due to only 2 away wins all season . 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.
