After Aston Villa deciding to let a charity take their sponsor's spot for this season. Another decent footballer....

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.

Good on him. Lost all time for him after some of his antics at Liverpool, but he has obviously matured with age.

Your thinking of Tommy Hutchison TYP. He scored for Man City and Tottenham in the drawn 1981 game (before Ricky Villa scored 'that' goal in the replay).
