Brazier, who retired in 2004 after two years at Orient, had suffered from non-Hodgkin's follicular Lymphoma.

Brazier came through QPR's academy and scored four goals in 64 appearances for the club between 1995 and 1998.

After a season at Fulham, he moved on to Cardiff in the summer of 1999 and helped the Bluebirds win promotion from the fourth tier in 2001.

A minute's silence will be held in memory of Brazier and academy analyst Antony Pallett, who died on Sunday aged 31, before QPR's FA Cup fourth-round replay against Portsmouth at Loftus Road on Tuesday.
