Bradley Orr admitted he would have stayed at Bristol City but the contract offer on the table at the time wasn't good enough in light of interest from Neil Warnock at Queens Park Rangers.
The former right-back, 39, made 255 appearances for the Robins over a six-year period before heading for London in 2010 shortly after Steve Coppell's managerial appointment at Ashton Gate.
Orr was a popular figure in BS3 having been a key part of the side that achieved promotion from League One to the Championship in the 2006/07 campaign. Orr then narrowly missed out on securing top-flight football for the first time in the club's history when they lost in the play-off final to Dean Windass' strike a year later.
