TEAR JERKER An emotional John Gregory was close to tears as the reality of Championship safety finally hit home.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk after the R's 1-0 victory against Cardiff City, the Rangers gaffer waxed lyrical about his players.
"There were a lot of negative moments throughout the season, but the lads have been first class.
"It's been really hard work and I'm absolutely knackered, but it's all been worthwhile.
"The drive, commitment, passion and team spirit amongst this group of players is something else - I've never known anything like it in all my time in football.''
Gregory added: "Two wins and two clean sheets against a Cardiff side with one of the best striker's in the division is an outstanding feat.''
The R's gaffer paid a special tribute to Danny Cullip, who despite missing the Bluebirds' fixture with a groin injury, was heralded as the major reason for the R's staying up.
"The day we signed Danny Cullip was the day everyone believed we could stay up.
"His impact since he arrived at the Football Club has been quite amazing. He's a first-class professional and he's had a real galvanising effect.
"They all deserve credit though, from the lads I've signed to the one's I've inherited.''
