Alan Hinton (Derby County)
Hi,
I’m
a fellow footballer with Kevin Parkinson. He informs
me that you are interested in finding out about Alan
Hinton and his part in coming to our prestigious
tournament over the past few years. I have put
together some photos that I have collected of Alan,
for our football web site.
For
the past few years now I have been contemplating on
adding a photos section to our web site. With Kevin’s collaboration
and contact with you, I decided it a good idea to
create separate pages.
You
can find Alan Hinton’s information by choosing
off our home page at www.juandefucafc.com, select the camera
icon below the title Club’s Photo Gallery. Click
on the icon on the left (binder) to see the photos
online or click the icon on the right to download a
PDF file with the photos. Hope this helps in filling
in any gaps on your site with regards to Alan?
Now
that I have added this section to our web site,
I’m going to pursue if there are any other OLE
players that come to our tournament that may deserve
a spot on our site. If things change in the future I
shall keep you informed.
Cheers,
Dennis
