Paul Hinshelwood A.K.A. Doris.( Sorry Paul if your reading this.) is i believe a postie in West Sussex.
Appologies to anyone who has no idea who he is, he played right back for the mighty Palace in the team of the eighties.
And my wife was in love with his brother martin. (you were the better player Paul).
