Fullback Gillard made his debut in QPR's 1968/69 Relegation season. (Tommy DOchery gave him his debut at home to Nottingham Forest in November 1968.)

For several years, QPR was blessed to have as its full backs: Dave Clement and Ian Gillard. However few people seeing him in his early years thought "future England International." But he improved and improved.

Gillard played 400+ Games for QPR. Gillard's last game was in the FA Cup Replay against Spurs before joining Aldershot as player coach.
