WHEN HILL JOINED QPR IN SEPTEMBER 2006
Official Site - NEW ADDITIONS
Queens Park Rangers Football Club are delighted to welcome Richard Hill and Joe Dunbar to the Club.
Hill joins John Gregory's backroom staff as a coach, while Dunbar is employed as a Sports Performance Coach.
The pair will work closely alongside the new gaffer, who was understandably pleased with their appointments: .....Hilly worked with me at Wycombe between 1996 and 1998. When I went to Aston Villa he went to Gillingham, so he knows this division very well and knows how to survive in it. He will be working alongside me.''

Tom Harvey, Kilburn Times, October 4, 2006 re John Gregory Assistant, Richard Hill
"...John Gregory's management team at QPR is beginning to take shape with former Stevenage Borough boss Richard Hill set to be named as his assistant.
Hill, who spent two years at Stevenage after being appointed manager in 1998, knows Gregory well from their time together at Aston Villa.
Hill enjoyed a spell as a coach during Gregory's reign at Villa Park, before moving on to Stevenage.
After his exit from the Hertfordshire side, Hill worked as assistant boss to Andy Hessenthaler at Gillingham, before taking a similar role under Brian Little at Tranmere and then becoming number two at Northampton Town until 2003.
Hill's arrival is expected to be followed by further management changes at Loftus Road, with four staff set to leave in the next few days."
