The ex Arsenal midfielder, who won the league title for the Gunners under Groege Graham in 1991, was brought in to provide coaching sessions with the Dave Kitson Academy.
Hillier, who also played for Portsmouth, Bristol Rovers and Barnet, settled in the Bristol area after his playing career finished and became a firefighter for Avon Fire and Rescue.
In his first coaching assignment for The Dave Kitson Academy, Ross-on-Wye based Ross Juniors FC were treated to some coaching by Hillier as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations.
Arsenal fan Paul Flitney, who helped to arrange the club’s anniversary celebrations, said: “Our kids and parents could not believe David would be coaching our young players.
“David was superb. He was professional and very personable, the coaching was fantastic and everyone had a fantastic time. The kids really enjoyed it.
