Prayers please for Alan Hinton, one of the finest players and finest gentlemen ever to represent Derby County and England. He is having major surgery tomorrow following a recurrence of bladder cancer. Since moving to America many years ago Alan has played a huge role in the development of soccer in the US and is in many ways the father of the Seattle Sounders. http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Alan-Hinton-Rams-legend-vows-beat-cancer-time/story-25703306-detail/story.html
