    I actually remember him as a player for us.
    A very small player, I think one of his two goals was an absolute screamer.
    I think he might've fallen out with Eddie Firmani, but he went on to have a long journalistic career.
    RIP Paul.

    Rip. Particularly remember him as MEN's long term correspondent for Oldham.

    Paul was a right winger who made 17 league appearances for us in the 67/68 season when we finished 15th in Div 2, scoring twice. The following season when we just missed out on promotion, he made six appearances, facing fierce competition for a place in a favoured front six of Alan Campbell, Keith Peacock, Matt Tees, Ray Treacy, Harry Gregory and Graham Moore. 

    RIP Paul

    RIP Paul. I remember him playing for us well, having been signed from Man City. I am sure @sethplum is right - one of his goals was a screamer.

    Remember him quite well, right winger. Never really settled in at Charlton, as already said he had a lot of quality competition.

    RIP Paul.

    My first Charlton memory. Paul Hince, hair died blonde, on the right wing in front of the east terrace, attacking the covered end. RIP.

    Remember him well, only 24 appearances ? That's a surprise. RIP Paul

    RIP Paul.
    Saw him play, he signed for around £20,000 from Man City around the beginning of February 1968,  a few days after the epic 10 man fightback 3-3 v league leaders QPR,.
    Very fast winger, he was all about pace and directness rather than trickery.

    Scored in each of his first 2 games, if I remember ...... a 4-1 away win at Plymouth Argyle and then the following Saturday, a 4-2 win against Huddersfield Town at The Valley.
    Don't think he scored for Charlton again after that.

    RIP

    Probably the first transfer in I can remember as a young fan. Never quite made it with us. RIP.

    RIP

    From The Valiant 500 ‘Paul described himself as a ‘chain smoking, drink sodden, heathen from Gorton’ when he joined Charlton, the complete opposite to manager Eddie Firmani’

    Paul described how Firmani would frisk him before he got on the team bus, and confiscate his fags

    Paul described his football career as ‘spectacularly dismal’

    Sounds like he was a bit of a character

    I may be mistaken signed the same time as Ray Treacy. RIP Paul.
