Title: Re: Spanish Footballer plays for free Post by: Rooky9 on October 03, 2008, 09:19:50 PM yep credit where its due, the Spanish Don Hutchinson... What has Don Hutchinson done similar to this? This guy has had chances to move to bigger clubs in the past - alot of respect for that. I bet he'll still have his desire questioned for not testing himself on a bigger stage though!

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.

I'm sure that top players do get involved in a lot of stuff, and give a lot away too without it being reported though. Title: Re: Spanish Footballer plays for free Post by: kinboshi on October 03, 2008, 11:40:47 PM Etxeberria is a quality player as well.
Different sport, but Kris Radlinski had to retire from Rugby League because of his knees. The doctors had told him that if he played on, he ran the risk of being severely injured later in life - possibly crippled. So he retired. But a year later, Wigan were in relegation trouble and Radlinski came out of retirement to play for Wigan, and played for nothing. A proper legend.
