Hutchison to sponsor youngsters

Hutchison has donated wages to sponsor youth players
Former Luton midfielder Don Hutchison will sponsor two of the club's youth-team players, after refusing his final pay packet at Kenilworth Road.

Hutchison was released by cash-strapped Luton at the end of last season.

But the former Scotland international will now sponsor youngsters Scott Sinclair and Jake Howells for the forthcoming campaign.

"This is a truly amazing gesture by Don," Luton managing director Gary Sweet told the club's website.

"For a player to turn around and refuse his final pay packet and instead ask to sponsor a youth player is unheard of.

"This shows the type of man that Don is, and what football means to him."

Hutchison spent just one season at Kenilworth Road, after a career which included spells at Liverpool, Everton and West Ham.

Don't think it was a big deal anyway for him. But nice gesture.

He had a bit of a bad-boy image in his younger days, so this is nice I guess.

That is a really heartening gesture. He deserves a lot of credit for it.

I heard him on the radio the other day and he is struggling to find a new club. Had zero offers so far. Which I guess makes the gesture even kinder.

he certainly does deserve credit for it - more and more of this footballers should do more gestures like this. ie the Mellberg shirts for the villa away fans when it was his last game etc - these guys (even don hutchison will be ) are millionaires so i think it's only right that they give something back(whether to the fans or to the game) - doesn't matter how big or small the gesture, just the jesture would be nice!
