Queens Park Rangers have had some very popular players over the years and Clint Hill is one man who is remembered very fondly by the R’s fans.
The no-nonsense defender made 185 appearances for the Londoners and he played a prominent role as Neil Warnock’s men secured the Championship title in 2011. And, he starred a few years later as QPR returned to the Premier League thanks to a dramatic play-off final win against Derby County at Wembley.
The club looked back to that 13/14 season over the weekend and it prompted a response on social media from Hill, who enjoyed reflecting on those ‘great memories’ from that season.
Will QPR finish in the top six this season?
Yes
No
Inevitably, that brought plenty of comments from R’s fans who were quick to praise the former player for his role in that promotion and for the service he gave the club over the years. Here we look at some of the reaction to Hill’s message…
You’re be one of the most welcomed back player in the clubs history#topman
