And in the Luton defense: Tim Breacker.] Over the years, other ex-Luton players such as Don Shanks, Don Givens, Fraser Digby and to a lesser degree Juergen Sommer and Tony Thorpe have worn the hoops; while Alec Stock, Mike Keen, Les Allen and Alan MacDonald are among those who moved to Luton.]

Official Announcement re Joe Dunbar Joining and Departing QPR

October 4, 2006 - Official Site - NEW ADDITIONS
Queens Park Rangers Football Club are delighted to welcome Richard Hill and Joe Dunbar to the Club.
Hill joins John Gregory's backroom staff as a coach, while Dunbar is employed as a Sports Performance Coach.
The pair will work closely alongside the new gaffer, who was understandably pleased with their appointments: "Joe was Lennox Lewis' personal trainer. When Lennox was getting ready for a fight, he had a ten week period where Joe was the guy who had to get him up to speed.
"Since Lennox has retired, Joe has had a bit more time on his hands and has been working for me here at the Club on a semi-part-time basis.
"Hilly worked with me at Wycombe between 1996 and 1998. When I went to Aston Villa he went to Gillingham, so he knows this division very well and knows how to survive in it. He will be working alongside me.''

March 13, 2008 - QPR Official Site - DUNBAR DEPARTS
Queens Park Rangers Football Club have parted company with Performance Manager Joe Dunbar.
Dunbar, who joined the Club as part of ex-Manager John Gregory's backroom staff in September 2006, was largely responsible for the Clubs medical department and played an integral role in the R's successful fight against relegation last season.
QPR Chairman Gianni Paladini told www.qpr.co.uk: "I'm sorry to see Joe go, but a new management team always brings new ideas and unfortunately he didn't necessarily fit in with them.
"He's been a great servant though and I wish him all the best for the future."
Speaking on his departure, Dunbar said: "I've really enjoyed my time here and I'm disappointed it has come to an end.
"I've worked for some big Clubs in the past, including Aston Villa and Charlton Athletic, but I've never known fans like the QPR fans.
"Their support has been first class and that will be my abiding memory of the last 18 months or so."
Dunbar added: "I'd particularly like to thank Gianni (Paladini) for his support, especially since the new management team have arrived.
"He's always been there for me and I'll be forever grateful to him for allowing me to work for this great Club."
The Club would like to place on the record its thanks to Joe for his contribution to QPR and wish him all the best for the future. QPR
