Fans of QPR have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which former midfielder Joey Barton comments on some of his memories from his time at the club.

Barton recently appeared on the Football CFB Podcast, in which the 37-year-old discussed his time at QPR, before quote-tweeting a link to the podcast, and commenting:

By far the most insane (off the field) club I ever played for. Great, loyal supporters who have had it tough for a long time. Never forget Wembley and the R’s fans turning out in full force to make the difference. @Amit_Bhatia99 [Amit Bhatia] always a steady hand within the chaos.”

Barton fell just short of playing 100 games for QPR, making 99 appearances, in which he scored seven goals and provided eight assists, as well as receiving 31 yellow and four red cards.

However, despite a poor disciplinary record, it would appear that Barton’s commitment to the cause has ensured that many fans of QPR still hold him in high regard.
