Gareth Ainsworth spoke for the entire dressing room in dedicating our 2-0 win against Burnley to the late Ray Jones.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk last night, Ainsworth said: "That was for the big man, Ray.

"We wanted to put on a performance in tribute to him I'm sure he's looking down on us with that lovable, big smile tonight.

"He was a big character and a fantastic prospect and he is still very much part of Queens Park Rangers Football Club and he'll never be forgotten."

A Blackburn boy, born and bred, Ainsworth - who was recalled to the side at the expense of the suspended Martin Rowlands - relished the victory in Lancashire.

"It's always nice to come back up North and to win at Turf Moor is magic," he told www.qpr.co.uk.

"We needed a victory and we produced the goods and it's a massive fillip ahead of back-to-back home fixtures at Loftus Road."
