Widdle Boots' lucky charm credited with QPR's survival surge
In an unexpected twist to Queens Park Rangers' 2024–25 Championship season, a handmade lucky charm from young fan Widdle Boots to his grandfather is being hailed as the catalyst behind the club’s dramatic turnaround, April 26, 2025.
At a time when QPR was struggling near the relegation zone, Widdle Boots crafted a small plastic charm for his grandfather, a lifelong supporter of the club. Shortly after receiving the charm, QPR embarked on an impressive run, losing only a handful of matches and gathering crucial points to secure their Championship status.
As of April 26, 2025, QPR sits 15th in the Championship standings. The teams immediately surrounding them are:
