QPR boss Neil Warnock admits he didn't think Clint Hill would play for the club again after sending him on-loan to Nottingham Forest.
The 33-year-old made a shock return to Loftus Road following an injury to Armand Traore, and impressed in the west London derby win against Chelsea.
Boss Warnock said: "I thought it was the last time he would ever play for me, but he was magnificent against Chelsea."
