Birthday: Ex-QPR (and Plymouth) John Delve - 53!

-
John Delve Turns 53: Born September 27, 1953

A "home grown" player given his debut by Gordon Jago in December 1972 at Luton Delve was a defensive midfielder who along with another home-grown youngster, John Beck, seemed to be the perennial substitute for much of our 1972/1973 season. For the next couple of season, Delve and Beck were QPR midfield back ups -especially to Gerry Francis - either when Francis was injured, or if Francis played forward (as he did a couple of times when Stan Bowles was suspended!)
Delve jned Plymouth in July 1974.
