Biography
Paul Hince was a reporter with the Ashton News before commencing his football career at Old Trafford, but achieved most success scoring four goals and playing eleven games at cross town rivals Manchester City during the Mercer-Allison partnership in the 1967–68 season.[2] On retiring from the game Paul went back to journalism working for the Manchester Evening News[2][3] as the City correspondent where he frequently referred to City as "God's own Club," and later became the Chief Sportswriter and England correspondent. After a long illness living with dementia Hince died at home on 22 July 2023, at the age of 78. Despite rumours of being in a care home for the last few years, Hince was cared for at home by his wife and stepson until the end. [4]
