Andy, your commentary on the closing stages of the Gillingham play off remains the most spine tingling piece of commentary I've ever heard, in particular the Dickov goal, absolutely brilliant, your passion for the club just oozes out, I've watched/listened to it hundreds of times and it never fails to send shivers down the spine, well done mate.

For those who haven't heard it just watch this

My favourite ever piece of City commentary too. Had it as my ring tone when you could first modify them. I’ve heard it probably a million times now and can recite it word for word, in fact I did do when I met Paul Dickov the other week, it it still gives me goosebumps.

Thoughts are with Paul Hince’s family. He’s a part of the rich blue tapestry of the club’s history.

R.I.P Paul, used to love reading your column in the MEN.

Many thanks - appreciate your kind comments. Felt as though i lost it for a second.

A sad day. Spent almost a decade travelling the country covering City with Hincey in the 90s. A man with a million stories, all of them hugely entertaining. A brilliant writer and a kind man with a heart of gold. He often summarised at away games when I was commentating for BBC Radio Manchester and he was as as sharp, incisive and humorous on air as he was with his match reports for the MEN and his weekly column. Hincey loved City, loathed United. Thanks for the memories Paul. A first class journalist; a fan who played for the team he idolised and a character who lit up a press box the moment he walked in. Farewell my friend. Andy Buckley x

Nice words, cheers Andy

He played his part in the '68 team , only played a couple of seasons and quite sure he retired quite young to go into jounalism , always loved his columns in the MUEN and always stood up for the blues when the Rags were dominant. His book "Failed footballer and crap journalist" summed up his modesty , he was neither.
Thoughts with his family another good guy gone.
