Ex-Chelsea and Charlton defender Hinton dies

Legendary defender, Marvin Hinton - who won the FA Cup and European Cup Winners Cup with Chelsea - has died at the age of 85.

Hinton started his football career at Charlton Athletic, playing over 150 games for the club before a move to Stanford Bridge.

He made 344 appearances for Chelsea in the 1960s and 70s and was also apart of the initial 1966 40-man England squad.

"It is with tremendous sadness that Chelsea Football Club announces the passing yesterday of Marvin Hinton, a cultured defender and trophy-winner for the club in the 1960s and 1970s," the club said.

The Blues said "'Suave Marv' was a progressive player ahead of his time" and send their deepest condolences to his family and friends.
