Hill recalls 'haymakers' in pitch-invasion mayhem after Survival Sunday

Clint Hill became well known for his battling performances, heart-on-sleeve attitude and centrality to the team while with Crystal Palace. But there's one image that stands above the rest when thinking of the tough defender.

It comes after 90 gruelling minutes at Hillsborough: Palace have just secured their survival against Sheffield Wednesday and Hill is in the middle of hundreds of fans, caught up unawares in a bustling pitch invasion.

Speaking with Palace TV after a full replay of 'Survival Sunday' today, Hill explained just what happened in that manic curtain closer. We'll leave it to him.
