About this deal

People say even now it might have been the worst trade in the history of the club, certainly from Cullis. At 73, Hinton enjoys life as one of the Sounders’ biggest supporters. He watches road matches with fans at pubs. He used to say to Archie, ‘give the ball to Alan, he can play and you can’t’, and you would see all the lads rolling their eyes! He played well in a 1-1 draw, but later that night was the passenger in a car driven by his friend which crashed, resulting in minor injuries resulting in missing the replay, which Wolves lost. He did recognise me, and he was great, and said later that he enjoyed seeing me again and that I was the same nice young man as when I was younger.

Hinton first played for the Dallas Tornado for a season, before moving to the Vancouver Whitecaps to end his playing career. Alan Hinton says that he usually writes hymns to tie in with the Bible readings set for specific Sundays in the Lectionary. “The prophets’ voice comes down the years” was written for Advent 2, Year A (which focusses on the Gospel of Matthew). Oh, and he also used to work as a paperboy delivering the Express & Star, taking pride in delivering 105 papers within 30 minutes.Clearly a winger in the making, even then. Hinton was Derby's creator-in-chief, set-piece expert, a winger whose ability to cross the ball with precision accuracy from any position amounted to genius and he provided some memorable goals. "Playing with these guys was wonderful," Hinton said. "The Division Two trophy was the first one we won together but to then go and win the big league, with Clough and Taylor, was great." When it comes to the first luminous footwear, things, ironically, are a little murkier. The mid-90s are the turning point once more and the earliest definitive reference we've uncovered comes in a report from Dundee's Dens Park. "It was perhaps a portent that the afternoon was going to be a rather grim affair," wrote Archie MacGregor in the Sunday Times in November 1996, "when St Johnstone's Attila Sekerlioglu decided to dispense with his notorious yellow boots."There has been plenty of triumph, plenty of trophies, including two League Championship titles with Derby, titles as a player with Dallas Tornado and Vancouver Whitecaps and a host of top coaching accolades.

Clough was charismatic and controversial. "One time the Derby squad and their wives were at the hotspot of the time, the Talk of the Midlands, to watch Tommy Cooper," Hinton said.That’s a beautiful thing to say to a player and there’s not a player in the world who wouldn’t react positively. Hinton also spent a number of years coaching youth soccer in the Puget Sound area of Washington state and became known as "Mr. Soccer" in the area. [2] [5] He coached the U13-18 Crossfire Sounders boys team (now the Crossfire Premier Soccer Club, including boys and girls teams) from 1992 to 1997. [6]

That belief might not have been there after that FA Cup game but Alan [Durban] always looks a bit deeper into things and gives you a different angle, he is a master at it. I'll never ever forget what he said that night and of all the players to score the goal against Liverpool in our final game of the season, it was John McGovern. You couldn't write it." After that game myself and Roy Morley found our way into the Victoria Hotel to get (Ferenc) Puskas’s autograph! Wolves’ form had dipped, the natives were growing restless, and enroute to a home defeat against Nottingham Forest, the fans started booing.

He was quite charming and that was nice to hear, but I guess as a player I just didn’t respond well to harsh language and treatment.” Cloughie replied to say he would help however he could and John and his family came over and were in the apartment next to us. Hinton worked his way into the Wolves line-up and produced some wow moments of his own, tallying 19 goals in 1962-63. During his three-year tenure, he scored 29 goals in 75 appearances, a sizable number for a winger. He had many assists, but they weren’t counted then. First Division: Derby County and Manchester United; Second Division: Hull City and Sheffield United; Third Division: Fulham and Reading; Fourth Division: Aldershot and Peterborough United Results of the 1970 competition He said to Cullis, ‘do I know my son better than you?’ to which Stan had to reply with ‘yes, you are his father’.
