I am sure I saw him play once. Blackpool had one season in the old first division in the early seventies. I went to watch City play at Bloomfield Road. We produced a dismal performance and lost 1-0. I can’t really remember anything notable about Jimmy’s performance but Blackpool had a winger that day who tormented us all afternoon. Whenever he got the ball the Blackpool fans were on their feet and the noise level went up as they anticipated something good was about to happen. This was the first time I saw Tommy Hutchison play.
Jimmy Armfield always came across as a gentleman, like Cyrille Regis he just seemed a really good bloke, no airs or graces and like many of that generation, really respectful of the game that gave them their living.

I went to that match and Hutchison was outstanding along with Tony Green an out standing midfielder we were linked to him too but he got a serious injury which cut his career short.
