Four Years ago, QPR drew 0-0 versus Vauxhall Motors in the FA Cup First Round. An embarassing draw, but QPR would surely easily win the replay at Loftus Road)
BBC - Vauxhall Motors 0 QPR 0
Vauxhall Motors held Second Division Queens Park Rangers to a goalless draw in the FA Cup first round, although they had the chances to produce a shock win.
The non-league outfit came close on several occasions but could not manage the all-important first goal.
Nicky Young drilled in a right-footed effort that flashed wide, while Carl Nesbitt had a shot blocked by Tommy Williams.
Marc Bircham squandered a decent opportunity for Rangers, but Andy Ralph made a good save in the home goal, while Dennis Oli shot over when well-placed.
Steve Aspinall fired over for Vauxhall just before the break, before Steve Palmer shot wide from just outside the area.
Rangers were forced into a change just before the hour when Oli was replaced by Kevin Gallen with what looked to be a serious injury.
Vauxhall Motors: Rolph, Collins, McDermott, Brazier, Haddrell, Lawton, Aspinall, Nesbitt, Young, Fearns, Cumiskey. Subs: Thompson, Hogg, Lynch, Derek Ward, Welton.
QPR: Digby, Palmer, Carlisle, Shittu, Rose, Bircham, Connolly, Williams, Burgess, Oli, Thomson. Subs: Forbes, Padula, Gallen, Culkin, Daly.

Ten Days Later, came the replay at Loftus Road!
BBC- November 26, 2002 Vauxhall Motors stun QPR -
QPR 1-1 Vauxhall Motors (aet) (Vauxhall won 4-3 on penalties)
Vauxhall Motors caused the upset of the FA Cup first round as they dumped out Second Division QPR on penalties at Loftus Road.
The Unibond League outfit thoroughly deserved their victory and should have won in normal time.
But it was left to goalkeeper Andy Ralph to save from Paul Furlong in the shootout before Karl Connolly's miss sent the part-timers through 4-3.
There did not look to be an upset on the cards when Andy Thomson shot QPR ahead after 18 minutes.
But when Vauxhall skipper Phil Brazier levelled four minutes later the game swung towards the part-timers.
They were denied four times in the first half after superb efforts by Terry Fearns, Robbie Lawton, Peter Cumiskey and Nicky Young as they dominated their opponents.
QPR hit back after the break as the non-League side tired. But Thomson, Clarke Carlisle and Connolly all missed chances as the game went first into extra time and then to penalties.
Vauxhall earned a second-round tie at Macclesfield with successful kicks from Cumiskey, Fearns, Carl Nesbitt and Kevin Lynch, and were given a standing ovation at the end.
QPR: Digby, Forbes, Carlisle, Palmer, Padula, Burgess, Bircham, Langley, Williams, Thomson, Furlong. Subs: Culkin, Connolly, Murphy, Oli, Daly.
Vauxhall Motors: Ralph, Lawton, Brazier, Collins, McDermott, Nesbitt, Aspinall, Haddrell, Cumiskey, Fearns, Young. Subs: Hogg, Thompson, Lynch, Derek Ward, Welton.
Referee: S Tomlin (E Sussex).
