It is Play-off day in League Two  and the one thing that sticks in my mind is how Chelsea were very fortunate that Bobby Robson never listened to my father when being tipped off about Ian Hutchinson.  ‘Hutch’ who became Peter Osgood’s magnificent ‘partner in crime’ especially in that incredible 1970 FA Cup run when the front two combined to give the defences of all of our opponents from Birmingham 3=0, Burnley 2-2 and 3-1, Crystal Palace 5-1, QPR 4-2 (Venables and all), Watford 5-1 (Elton John) and Leeds United (another England manager) 2-2 and 2-1 in that first FA Cup final replay, breaking all goal scoring records along the way/ My father first found ‘Hutch; whilst playing against my brother H=John in a Southern League match in Burton itself and informed Bobby Robson, another England manager in waiting, when the boss of our team Fulham. However it all fell on deaf ears and a while later Chelsea picked him up from Cambridge when a scout went to watch their goalkeeper. Oh how Hutch would have loved to be walking out today in the biggest match in the history of his hometown club, when he wore a leather jacket whilst roaring around on his motor bike.  When arriving at Chelsea he was told in no uncertain terms that he must change his image which he did by throwing away the keys and taking to a car and a bottle. Within a few months Ian went from a raw tough centre-forward in the Southern League to a top class First Division striker and the perfect foil for the ‘Master’ Osgood and the main man taught him well as they scored around 60 goals between them in that first season, when the World Cup was waiting for Osgood, only for him to be left out by Ramsey. On what a nightmare by Sir Alf, and by not picking Osgood it cost him the label of being the world’s number one number 9. I missed that World Cup though injury where Ian missed it through a lack of the kind of finesse you need at that level, but in the Football League he was awesome and the type of player that Leeds United had never come across. His swashbuckling style had them all over the place and on top of that his fantastic ability to throw the ball for a distance that Mo Farrah would have been proud of was incredible and led to our winning goal on that most famous of nights at Old Trafford.
