The legend that is... Don Hutchinson (no, really)

Once a DSOTB regular, always a DSOTB regular so said the archivists of our fine blog way back in err… July ’08 – but today’s actions from old Donaldhino (Don Hutchinson to the uninitiated) have proven this naïve calculation wrong, wrong, wrong. For today the chicken-haired old Scottish warhorse has set a real example to all other footballers of his (and the next six or seven) generations after him, has put up a generous injection of cash to Luton Down [ooh, catty] FC, by turning down his final pay packet after being released by the hatters, and offering to sponsor two promising youth players, Scott Sinclair and Jake Howells, for the entire season instead. What a legend! Gary Sweet, MD of Luton Town, was unsurprisingly delighted and commented, "This is a truly amazing gesture by Don. This shows the type of man that Don is, and what football means to him.”

But it’s not just the big lad’s generosity that sets him apart and makes Hutchinson a DSOTB legend… No, and as much as Luton are delighted with the bag of sheets he sent to Kenilworth Road [expect Brian Barwick to be donned in mask and cape aiming to rob from the poor to give to the fat, cash-fuelled leopards of the FA though], we’re far more interested in well… His celebrity penis.

It was a good 14 years ago while on holiday in Ayia Napa in 1994, that an inebriated Don was caught stark naked, hiding his wedding tackle behind a Budweiser label. His manager at Liverpool Roy Evans declared: 'If Hutchison is flashing his cock again that's out of order.'

Again you say? Had Evans been party to something else? Oh hell yeah, as you see a year earlier he had spotted female students videoing their graduation celebrations in a wine bar, unzipped his flies and announced, 'Zoom in on this!' Genius. I’m not sure if they did or not? After the Ayia Napa incident he went on to be fined 5g, dropped, transfer-listed and shipped off to West Ham (which in my opinion would be a harsh punishment for murder, let alone innocently brandishing ones love-truncheon in the sun), where he was known to fans and team-mates as 'Budweiser').

Awesome… So lets all raise a beer (bottled of course) to Don, and his status – as this week’s hero of DSOTB!
