Paul Hince

Played for Gorton Reseda, nick-named Sixer, absolutely greased lightning at amateur level. Typical Manc sense of humour, his comment on Chelsea buying SWP echoed many fans opinion of the deal. Rip, sadly missed.

Bit before my time to see him in sky blue but remember his reporting. Think he was the first person I remember being city reporter. Worked with his daughter for a brief time in the 90’s. He was city mad.

Funny as I worked with his daughter too around 1991/92. Think he might have 2 daughters though? She told me a story of sometimes having to drop Peter Gardner’s wages off at his house when she was a kid.

Gutted about this as I always preferred his reporting to Gardner’s - his columns were not only knowledgeable but also entertaining to boot - and I think he was long overdue getting the main City gig at the MEN
 
I have one personal memory of Paul Hince. Coventry away in the FA cup mid 90s freezing cold night match. Four of us in Coventry’s main stand went for a warm up in the concourse at half time and this door kept opening with a waft of warm air. So we went in and it was obviously the press room with hot cups of tea laid out. Of course we helped ourselves and thought we were doing great until Mr Hince announced “There are people in here that shouldn’t be” and we were duly told to leave. No hard feelings Paul, RIP.
