Hi everyone, my dad is writing a book with/about Tommy Hutchison, titled ‘Mr Magic’. We are Coventry fans, so this is the message that has been posted on our fans forum, but Tommy Hutchison played for many clubs, as well as representing Scotland, over a very long career - I wondered if anyone on here has any memories of him? He’s asked me to share the below message asking for any of your Hutch memories, with a view to including them in the book. Thanks!

I am currently writing a book about Tommy. I spent a week in Fife in September recording his story and by the time I came to leave we were only half way through his time at Coventry! He had a long, long career and he has a lot of stories to tell! Over Zoom in the following week or so we managed to cover the rest of his career and what he has done since retiring as a player. Like most City fans who saw him play for us in the seventies, I thought he was just a fantastic player. I never thought that forty odd years later I would have the chance to get to know him. He is a funny, friendly, down to earth sort of bloke with no airs and graces. I would hope that the book will be published some time this year.
The reason for this thread is that I thought it would be nice to have a few memories in the book from fans of all the clubs he played for, possibly fans of the Scottish international team too. If any of you met him, or have memories of particular movements featuring Hutch in games, please email me at the address below. Thanks in advance. Please send any contributions to;
