Hill retains Palace memories

QPR defender Clint Hill will always hold fond memories of his time at Crystal Palace despite leaving Selhurst Park this summer. Hill penned a two-year deal with the Rs following the expiry of his contract with Palace and has revealed the lack of security forced him to move on. "There was obviously some emotion leaving Palace because of last season and what we went through," he told the Croydon Guardian. "You couldn't help but feel part of something. I had some great times at Palace. "When the gaffer (Neil Warnock) came and said `listen, do you fancy coming to work with me again?' it was a massive relief to me that it was finally tied up and sorted. It's good to have a bit of security. I wasn't the only one, there were a few of us in limbo with no one really to speak to regarding a new contract. We just didn't know what was happening - it was a scary place three or four weeks ago." Hill, who helped secure the Eagles' Championship status with a final-day draw at Sheffield Wednesday last term is looking forward to the clash at his old club next season, adding: "I've already looked at when the game is and I'm looking forward to it, I really am. "I'll walk out at Selhurst Park with a smile on my face knowing that the club have done well and survived."
