Posted April 30, 201213 yr I know he has been on the bench a bit since his come back but can I just say how great it was to see Sam Huthinson on the field yesterday. Coming from someone who has had similar knee injuries it is horrible having to quit the world game at such a young age! But I would like to take my hat of to Sam and I hope he starts figuring more and more for the first team especially in the next few weeks with the amount of games we have with limited resource in defence. Sam is a credit to the club and an insipiration to anyone who has injuries to never give up and if you love something so much you always keep going. This is the type of mentatlity which wins you trophies. Welcome back Sam!

I really hope he goes on to have a long and successful career in football and hopefully with Chelsea.
April 30, 201213 yr Got a boner after his tackle on the QPR player. Best way to make an impression at the Bridge!
April 30, 201213 yr Mentioned him in the game thread. I got goosebumps when he was brought on. Just felt genuinely happy for him. And he didn't play that bad, though I doubt QPR did their absolute best at the time.
April 30, 201213 yr You can see why Chelsea like him. He has size, he's quick and aggressive and decisive. I know he had a chronic knee injury. Does anyone know what, specifically, was wrong? Was it cartilage or ligament? Cartilage never gets better but ligaments eventually heal.
May 1, 201213 yr Shame we conceded as soon as he came on lol But delighted for the lad...hopefully he has a long and prosperous career whether with us or another team.
May 2, 201213 yr Yeah top shout. Threw in a massive tackle soon as he got on as well. top lad. good buzz
May 3, 201213 yr You can see why Chelsea like him. He has size, he's quick and aggressive and decisive. Yep, he gave us a sniff of those attributes almost immediately. I'm really pleased for the lad and pleased our management team are giving him the opportunity to squeeze his way back in...
May 3, 201213 yr Author Yep, he gave us a sniff of those attributes almost immediately. I'm really pleased for the lad and pleased our management team are giving him the opportunity to squeeze his way back in... I am not sure he would have had this opportunity if we had anyone else in charge, good thing about RDM is that although being Italian he is a Chelsea fan and wants to give the players who want to be Chelsea play. Hopefully we will see some more of the youngsters next season if RDM is appointed.
May 3, 201213 yr It was good to see SH on the pitch (as well as doing them 6-1 after the nine man 1-0 at their place). All credit to RDM, whatever happens over the coming matches the youngsters must be given more game time next season - hate to say it but AF at Manure has been doing it for years and his record speaks for its self.
May 3, 201213 yr So if Cahill is the next JT, is Hutch now the next Cahill? :D I think we have some great options at centre back and it's looking very bright for the future too - Cahill and Luiz are still young, and with Chalobah and Hutch coming through as well, we're sorted!
August 16, 201212 yr Rumour is he's off to Forest on loan. Confirmed by Forest today. Should be good for him to get games every day and see how well his recovery is moving along. The loan is only until January.
August 16, 201212 yr We really need another RB imo, I know we have paulo and he has been a hero to Chelsea but I just have the feeling we need another option.
August 16, 201212 yr afternoon gents, is hutchinson a centre back or a right back? I believe he can play both, though he is primarily a RB. He is probably the most unique character at your club since Brian Clough. Hope it turns out well.
August 16, 201212 yr Apparently there was a mixup earlier with what was being reported, but I guess the loan is actually for the entire season.
August 16, 201212 yr I believe he can play both, though he is primarily a RB. He is probably the most unique character at your club since Brian Clough. Hope it turns out well. whys that?(most unique character) Edited August 16, 201212 yr by porksforestfan
August 16, 201212 yr ^ Well, he made his debut for us at 18 but his career "ended" prematurely through injury at 20, upon which he got his coaching badges and turned down the job of first-team coach at Swindon. Towards the end of last year he signed a new contract, after making an amazing comeback which took all of us by surprise, and featured in the first-team towards the end of last term. Edit: I must say, prior to his retirement, there were high hopes for him, so we're all hoping he can forge a career. Whether he can ever get back to being genuine Chelsea material is unclear, but here's hoping he has a long and fruitful career. He is obviously held in very high regard at Chelsea.

August 16, 201212 yr I believe he can play both, though he is primarily a RB. He is probably the most unique character at your club since Brian Clough. Hope it turns out well. Isn't he a primarily a CB that can play at RB?
August 16, 201212 yr ^ You could be right. Prior to his retirement, I remember him playing RB, and putting in a great cross for a goal.
August 16, 201212 yr Its great to see Hutch getting a shot after what he has been through. Gives me a team to watch in the Championship now, good luck to him.
August 16, 201212 yr ^ You could be right. Prior to his retirement, I remember him playing RB, and putting in a great cross for a goal. Yeah this beauty against Stoke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMsiWZ3MG7I I do remember watching him play for the reserves as a CB but I could be wrong.
August 16, 201212 yr He was a CB for the ressies but mainly played RB when given a chance in the first team. I think Jose had him lined up as a CB though for the first team squad before his injury from what I can remember.
