QPR goalkeeper Lee Camp comes face-to-face with an old team-mate and rival when Sheffield Wednesday visit Loftus Road this weekend.Camp will line up opposite fellow former Derby goalkeeper Lee Grant, with whom he jostled for the number one shirt for a number of seasons before both quit Pride Park last summer.

"Granty's a former Under-21 international like myself and whether there was room for both of us at Derby was questionable, but it did surprise me that we both ended up leaving," Camp told the Kilburn Times.

"I was always under the impression that the goalkeeping situation there was pretty strong, there was a lot of potential, and I thought there would be more spent in other areas of the team.

"But my face didn't fit and Granty never got the opportunity to prove himself for whatever reason, so the minute I realised I wasn't going to be in the team, I just wanted to play football.

"I think it was the same for him and he's been excellent so far this year for Wednesday, but there's nothing different about Saturday's game - I want to prove my ability every time I play."
