Really looking forward to reading this as Tommy is cracking fella who had a great career. I caught up with him earlier this year for a Tales of Blue and Tommy, like many blues wish he could have been with us much earlier in his career, he speaks very highly of his time with us.
I sent him a cheque as a thank you for his and to have a dinner on me, which he sent back with 'No Need, Once A Blue, Always A Blue' written on the back.
Great interview.
Didn't know Hutch was voted ' player of the century' for Coventry.
Also didn't know he first ever appearance at Wembley was for Scotland..as a sub against England in a 5-1 defeat,which I think must have been 1975,when Colin Bell and Gerry Francis bossed midfield and Bell scored a cracking goal.
His memory of his time at City is fascinating,particularly his opinion that in training certain players didn't take it seriously enough at the start..but others like Tueart were great trainers.
Tommy Hutch,Gerry How and Bobby Mac were a huge part of one of my fav City sides..and another thing I'd forgotten was that the trio were all cup tied for the league cup semi final against Liverpool....who of course narrowly beat us with the help of Alf grey...a crushing blow at the time.
