Here’s another chance to hear my Big Interview with Don Hutchison from season four.You’ll hear about Don’s meteoric rise from boys’ club to Hartlepool to Liverpool – where he formed a midfield three with the magnificent Jan Molby and Ronnie Whelan under manager Graeme Souness. Don speaks about the vision, courage and split-second decision making required to be a midfield fulcrum.There’s moving stuff, too: how Don’s winner for Scotland against England brought his tough miner father to tears.
