Season summary

In the 1991–92 First Division campaign, QPR finished 11th in the league and ensured their place as founder members of the new Premier League, which began the following season. Their manager Gerry Francis oversaw one of QPR's most famous victories, the 4–1 win over leaders Manchester United at Old Trafford broadcast live on terrestrial television on New Year's Day 1992. The hat-trick scored by Dennis Bailey in that game was the last time the feat was achieved by an away player in league football at Old Trafford until 2021.^[1][2]

Kit

Brooks Sports became QPR's new kit manufacturers and front of shirt kit sponsors.
