QPR striker Austin hands playoff tickets to American fan

QPR striker Charlie Austin has handed tickets to a fan for the Premier League promotion playoff with Derby County.

The Daily Mail says the Hoops hitman had two spare tickets for the Wembley showdown which he offered out via his Twitter account to the most-deserving supporter.

And New Jersey-based Austin Welch got the nod from QPR's leading scorer after booking flights to London for the weekend costing £1,326 to prove his devotion to the R's.
