    Clint Hill has capped a remarkable season by scooping both the Player's Player and Supporters' Player of the Year awards.

    The versatile defender, who was sent off on the opening day of the season against Bolton Wanderers and then spent time on loan in the Championship at Nottingham Forest, returned to make 22 outings in the Barclays Premier League for the R's, as well as three FA Cup appearances.

    Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, a delighted Hill said: "It's amazing - I'm lost for words to be honest.

    "To play a part in keeping this Club in the Premier League is all I ever dreamed of - but getting these awards is the icing on the cake.

    "I'm very surprised I've won both awards to be honest, but I'm absolutely delighted.

    "I just give my best in every game - that's the minimum any professional should do.

    "I'm delighted that I've been rewarded for my efforts by the fans and my fellow professionals."

    Hill pipped Jamie Mackie to the Supporters' Player of the Year award, with Shaun Derry and Anton Ferdinand also featuring prominently in the fans vote.

    R's talisman Adel Taarabt scooped the Supporters' Young Player of the Year award, narrowly ahead of Samba Diakite, as well as winning the Goal of the Season crown for his stunning solo effort against Arsenal at Loftus Road.

    Loyal R's fan Clive Whittingham clinched the Supporter of the Year award, whilst Mackie was named Junior Hoop Player of the Year.

    You would have thought this was the not606 awards they talk about ;)

    What a feeling this must be for him! Red carded in the first game, loaned back to the Championship, a mass influx of "star" names. But he's still king of the Hill ;) Well deserved Clint.

    My vote went to Mackie, but I was torn between the two.

    Well deserved.

    Fair play to him. He's an example of how far honest industry and hard work can get you.

    Well done Hilly.

    don't go too far , its just wrong to get players names put on your shirt unless you are a kid. Nearly as bad as people having their own names done.

    Congratulations!

    Hill, then Mackie? Exactly what we said on here.

    Just goes to show that not606-QPR absolutely reflects the will and ways of the Rangers massive in general!

    The only choice not bad for a championship player ... and to think that TIT NW sent him out on loan and the majority on here wanted him gone as he wasn't good enough! Hope we all remember that when the team reshuffle starts on here .. idiots. Get the the team spirit right and the rest will follow. Some of here want to replace our team rather than add to it. Some will go but lets remember that you can't build a new team overnight

    Out on loan, then came back, we all thought he'd be offski to Leeds with Warnock but ended up being one of our most solid and consistent players. Stood out among some of the other big names. Well deserved and would have got my vote if I had been arsed enough to bother!!!
