Allen made his QPR first team debut in an FA Cup tie at Crystal Palace on 26 November 1938. His league debut against Newport County took place a week later on 3 December 1938. Allen was known as one of the best goalkeepers of his era. He initially played for the Corona Football Club in the Hanwell and District League where a QPR supporter spotted him and recommended him to the club. He was given a trial with the reserve team at Clacton and the side lost 2–1. Allen felt he had played poorly. The club though felt he had promise but it was several months before he could be persuaded to play again. His next match was again with the reserves at West Ham on 12 March 1937. West Ham won 7–1. Despite this it was still felt that Allen had done well and on 6 May 1938 he signed professional terms.
Allen went on to play 183 league games for QPR, his career impacted by the war years where he was a prisoner of war (POW) in North Africa after being captured while on a commando raid in July 1941. While in German hands, Allen played in many six-a-side games, typically as centre-forward to help gain a different insight to the game. He was a member of the 1948 QPR team that won the Third Division (South) championship. Read even more about Reg Allen at Wikipedia
