QPR striker celebrates proud moment with message on Twitter for those who doubted him
Tyler Blackwood’s QPR debut was a proud moment for the striker, who had a message for those that doubted he would make it as a player.
Blackwood posted on Twitter after coming on as a substitute in the Capital One Cup win at Yeovil.
He made the most of another chance to make it as a professional when he was offered a trial at Rangers, who later gave him a contract.
Blackwood previously had spells at Northampton and Barnet and more recently played college football in the United States.
Elated to have made my pro debut. Thanks to everyone who helped me get here, but more importantly thanks to those who said I never would.

Summer signings Seb Polter and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas scored their first goals for the club and there was a debut for another recent signing, Ben Gladwin.
Youth product Michael Doughty played in midfield, catching the eye in a Rangers side which also included Matt Phillips.
