Ilias Chair exclusive: QPR means everything to me - I was done with football

QPR attacking midfielder Ilias Chair admits playing for the Championship club means everything to him.

A veteran with Morocco for this season's World Cup in Qatar, Chair has conceded he was ready to give football away as a professional career before he was given a trial by the Rs.

That was six years ago. Today, Chair is an established player with QPR and also is still coming down after Morocco's run to the World Cup semifinals.

Asked about what QPR means to him Chair, on behalf of CopyBet, told Tribalfootball.com: "Of course the club means everything to me.

"I mean they gave me a chance when they didn't have to give me a chance. I was basically done with football. No peopled believe in me.

"Then QPR came and they gave me a chance.

"Chris Ramsey and Les Ferdinand came in and gave me a chance and I will forever be grateful to them. I will be forever grateful to the club and to the managers that came and played me.

"So that's why this this club means everything to me."
