When Shorts Were Short S3 E07 Alan Hinton - Wolves, Forest, Derby and England
Manage episode 393669634 series 2838257
When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, to 1992, when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.
If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.
Alan Hinton broke into the Wolves side during the final years of the Stan Cullis era. Emerging during the 1961-62 season, the strikingly blonde haired left winger scored 5 times in 16 appearances, and was a rare bright spark in an otherwise dreadful season for the club which saw them finish 18th that year, after a top 3 finish the season before.
Staggeringly, one of the most gifted English players of the era was capped only three times by Alf Ramsey – Hinton is in good company there – and by the time he left his second club Nottingham Forest in 1967 to make his career-defining move to Derby, the white-booted playmaker was already a ‘former’ England international.
After two league titles at the Baseball Ground, the first in 1972, under Clough and Taylor, the second three years later under Dave Mackay, the deepest of personal tragedies pushed Hinton into moving his family to the States. After closing out his playing career with spells at Dallas Tornado and Vancouver Whitecaps, Hinton managed in the old NASL, most notably with the Seattle Sounders, whom he would also manage in the mid-90s early days of the MLS.
