Ernie Adams (footballer, born 1922)

Ernest William Adams (3 April 1922 – 28 September 2009) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Queens Park Rangers as a forward.

Prior to joining Queens Park Rangers (for whom he played in five matches) he had been on the books of two other English Football League clubs, Preston North End and Fulham. After leaving QPR in 1952 he spent six seasons with four clubs in the Kent League: three seasons with Betteshanger Colliery Works and one each with Ashford Town, Dover and Margate. On leaving the latter he signed with Clacton Town.

In April 1953 a selection of ex-top class players chosen by and including him and playing as 'Adams’ XI' beat a QPR XI in a benefit match on his behalf.
