A few years ago, I was conducting a funeral service for a long time Rangers supporter. I thought it would be a nice gesture if the club would send a note to the family on Rangers header notepaper expressing sympathy to the family and contacted the club. I received the most beautiful personal letter addressed to the family signed by Mark Hately when he was working for Rangers in an administrative role. A real gentleman. Didn't get treated well by Rangers at the end. Thank you Mark
As a Leeds Utd fan, I totally agree with the previous fan about the goal he scored against us that day. It was absolutely amazing, and Mark derserves every accolade going. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your great journey.
THE BIG MAN. What a footballer and a gentleman. I’m a Chelsea fan but could see that he was a world class striker. I spent a lot of time in Glasgow 1992-1995 so saw him at his electrifying best. I would confidently say he is Rangers greatest ever striker. I first saw him play in a 2-2 draw Chelsea v Pompey at the bridge. I was 11 years old but Hateley tore Chelsea apart. My dad said to me. England could win the World Cup with him. If only Bobby Robson played 3 up front against Argentina. Nice to see Big Hateley looking well. Great interview lads. Never knew this channel existed until now.
As a Pompey fan …….. Mark Hateley was the best header of the ball ever , Mark was a legend at Pompey although just for a season …….. loved this podcast so much. It still is hard to believe that Mark was still a Pompey player when he scored that goal against Brazil for England at the Maracana . I wonder if he remembers the game at Stamford bridge when Kerry Dixon missed 2 penalties, im sure he scored that day. Top man Mark and thanks ………..
yeah one of those classic old school strikers you dont see anymore , the days when there was no snowflakes falling about like they shot by a smiper etc
I am old enough to remember his father, Tony Hatley, playing in the 1960's for Aston Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool, Coventry, Birmingham. A formidable striker, in his own right (who had a slightly better goal per game ratio!)
Another senior citizen here who remembers Tony Hatley. Chelsea (my club) signed him for a club record £100,000 in 1966 from Aston Villa, where he had been a regular goal scorer. Unfortunately the system at Chelsea just didn't suit his style of play. Within less than a year he was sold onto Liverpool where he found his goal scoring touch once again. One stand out memory was his brilliant headed winning goal for us against Leeds Utd during the 1967 FA cup semi-final at Villa Park
We only had Tony for a season in the end, but he made a huge contribution (28 goals). It's a mystery really why Shanks let him go. It was said he 'didn't fit the style'. Hate to think how many he would have scored if he'd actually 'fit the system'!! Saddest part was we spent the cash from Tony on Alun Evans who ended up flopping (though probably in large part due to the trauma of being glassed in a pub). Still, by the time Evans was leaving we had Keegan, which wasn't a bad upgrade!
Good listen. Interesting guy. A far cry from those players whose boring stories revolve around being pissed or acting the fool all the time. More like Mark please!
It's about there life in football. Maybe it's about being pissed and having a laugh, but that was a big part of football back then like it or not. Great podcast interesting guy keep up the good work guys
@@CB-xr1eg He mentions it Twice! in an career spanning how many yrs ( and time playing in Europe& the U.S) So the comment wad quite Apt! And he certainly didn't devote the whole interview discussing his ' Boozing' habits! .And as much as these fellas have a good channel,sometimes it sounds like all they want to talk about is who got ' Chinned' & who was Drunk!. Imo..
I used to watch Mark play at ibrox regularly....What a player he was....Without a doubt the best header of a ball I have ever seen...ridiculous the amount of goals he scored with his head...
I suppose like many people i forgot about his stay in Italy,( and the players he mixed it with)Monaco,Rangers..Some impressive Resume! ..And when u see the brief clips, u see he was a real handful,great in the Air& fast..Excellent interview!
I'm from the same manor as Mark in Nottingham and played against him at schools level. At 16 he was stand out. Especially in the air. I remember his Dad Tony on the side lines shouting encouragement. Both were brilliant number 9's.
@@markdisney260 that's true he did. JR school was burton Joyce under 11s when i payed against him i am sure he was only 9 at the time, the game was at east Bridgford
Growing up a rangers fan he was a joy to watch. My dad got us season tickets from 1991-1997 and that team holds very special memories, he was unplayable in the champions league 1992/93 season
What a bloke always liked the way he played the game and like him even more now I've heard him speak and by the way talks a lot of sense to him and Mick Hartford the best two guests you have had well done lads
Hateley is one of my heroes. Had the absolute pleasure of watching you score your double against that lot at Hampden in the 3-1 win. A day that will live with me till my dying day.
At the end you say about people going up and down in football levels, google George Raynor from Yorkshire assistant manager at Aldershot to manager of Sweden won Olympic gold, left to manage Latzio then Juventus, then Coventry back to Sweden where he took them to the World Cup final (first English man to get a World Cup medal) at the end of the tournament he left to manage Skegness town unsung hero’s of England football
Milan went on to do great things after his chat with Berlusconi...👌 Bringing the Mrs as no.1 choice for the lads session is a straight red. Clear to see why Gazza was put in with him 🥱
Must be in the DNA never new his father was a top player but as a rangers fan Mark and ally mccoist had a amazing strike partnership never lost won the league every year those two were upfront mccoist mccoist waa scoring 50 goals a season mark 30 .. but his son Tom played in the spl starting with motherwell wasn't a striker but was a good crosser off the ball could hit a free kick infact I remember when he first came to Scotland he scored a free kick vs rangers 😢 mark you better have a word with him ground him or something 😉😆😆 but yeah football was definitely in the Hatley family but mark was a master at heading the ball and putting it in the back off the net .. and with players like Laudrup and gazza wiping in crosses they new if they put it in the right area big mark would get his head on the end off it and more than likely score best headers off a ball I've seen and would assist mccoist regularly winning the ball in the air and mccoist would score .. good times 💓
Back in the late 1970s I met Marks Dad, Tony when he worked for a North West Brewery, And once mentioned I had seen him quite a lot when he played for Liverpool in the 1967-68 season, even though I supported Everton. And how he scored a few hat-tricks in the 20 plus goals, despite this he was sold at the end of that season. To think some sides today would pay a kings ransom for someone who could score over 20 goals a season. Everton especially.
Mark Hatley and mccoist were the best partnership in my life time, Hatley got alot of stick when he first came I remember it, great mentality to turn it around guys a legend, what a player should've played more games for England
Pompey were one of the biggest payers, I was very surprised when some of the 80s players told me how much more they got there than even Leeds, among other "bigger" clubs. An era of cash on the turnstiles and 20,000 people turning up when 13,000 was the official attendance might have had something to do with it.
@@marcdavis7583the amount of games I went to in the 1980's where the ground was packed, yet the attendance was put at the ground being half full was ridiculous. Tax fiddle at it's finest!!
Very well done this was brilliant. Do not blame Mark for missing out on the the pope, Jack Charlton fell asleep, when he went with the Irish squad [ i think during Italia 90]. Did not the Millan fans call Mark Atilla [as in the Hun], I did not know they called him Tornado. Though Mark looked like his father with a very similar build, to me he bears a remarkable resemblance to Phil Oakey of the Human League then and now [with the hair and without it]. Bravo and keep up the good work lads
When i was young i remember Marks dad ,Tony Hateley he was the best i have ever seen in the air, and Mark turned out the same as his dad ,Mark was great in the air as well.
easily 1 of the best shows to date, what a player Mark was and this prompted me to look at some of his goals, imo he is 1 of the countries finest headers of the ball, up there with Shearer and Les Ferdinand
His goal for England in the Maracana in 1984 get overlooked a bit because of the world class goal by John Barnes, even though it was the goal that sealed a 2-0 win.
Came up on the feed and I watched straight through which I never do with a video this long. I bet he could have gone on a couple more hours, great Cloughie impression too.
Back in the mid 90's, he was player/manager of Hull City, and he went into a Hull Pub after it was closed. The barman said " sorry sir, we are closed". Mark Hateley said "Do you not know who I am?!". The barman said "Yeah, manager of a team at the bottom of division 4 and you're going to take us out the league for the first time in our history. Now, please, you'll have to leave. We are closed". Thank goodness he was sacked. He was cocky as fuck, and lazy on the pitch. Was still living off his san siro memories. Useless at that stage.
Im 63 and watched Marks Dad head many a goal at Coventry, we signed him from Liverpool I think. He's was the best ever header in the old first division. I also watched Mark make his debut at Coventry aged about 18 he played along side Tom English who was around same age. Mark was outstanding at rangers who I also follow.
I watched Mark play at Walsall v Coventry reserves I’m sure he scored a hatrick not sure of the year mid 70s maybe. Crowd was giving him some stick but he sure shut them up.
He was unbelievable at Rangers, where I think he peaked. He was unplayable on his day. He was a monster, a great finisher. Him and McCoist were a dream partnership.
Celtic fan here, he's an interesting bloke with a brilliant career. Paul Elliot had him on toast though. Some battles they had, especially the aerial duels, class.
This is a question for you guys and Mark. All of these operations and injuries, how do you guys end up in later life? I only played from school and Sunday league and have had Cartilages trimmed and now 2 Knee replacements in my older years.
Found it amazing they were all dumbfounded trying to figure out what year it was. Then Hately mentioned how impressed with the Argentinians who weren't even in it.
One of the most iconic tournaments, Banks save from Pele, all the brilliant Brazilian moments, the final itself , if your a true football fan it’s automatic you know that tournament…..
How hard can it be? England won in 1966, do they not know the World Cup is every 4 years????? Idiots. Btw, Mark Hately went to my school, by all accounts he was not that amazing at the time.
i still had the Esso poster of the England squad face photos in sketched jerseys & 4 goalies in yellow inc a young Shilton plus Stepney & Co It sat on office door till a bored Labrador ate half in the 00s . Bloody youngsters ..☹️
big fan of the 'big man up front' or a big fan of players with MH as their initials? Do you prefer John Fashanu or Mark Hughes (who was small but a beast
@@sezza8516 I became a fan of Harford after he signed for my club (Bristol City) in the early 80’s & Hateley was probably as it was around the time he was breaking into things & playing for England U21’s & then on to the seniors. As for Fashanu & Hughes, wasn’t particularly a fan of either, Hughes probably because I didn’t particularly like Man Utd or Wales & Fash came on the scene a little later although I did like Justin Fashanu but that was probably for that goal he scored for Norwich against Liverpool although having recently seen that goal again, it was never how I quite remembered, I always thought it went right in the top corner although seeing it now it probably only goes in about half way up the post, funny how the memory makes you remember certain things differently.
I remember playing against Mark when he was at school. He was at Arnold Comp in Nottingham. I think he scored 4 goals with his head in the match. He was huge as a schoolboy.
@@lb_75 I played for Beckett and Sherwood Rangers at the time. This was in the 70's. Played against Brian Kilcline at the time too. He was built like a man at 15. You could tell they were both way better than others of the same age.
I remember playing against Mark, primary school I think it was Arno Vale, he was about 6 ft then! We got hammered he scored a hatful. Great pro, great career.
@@collo5034 Yeah, I remember him being a lot taller than most for his age. I played against Brian Kilcline too at that age and he looked like a fully grown man. 😁
Always great watching these interviews. But they all like to add a few bits on. Mark Hateley never played against Forest for Coventry on a winning team. So his crossing the ball in for the winning goal and celebrating in front of Brian Clough either happened in a reserve game or not at all. The stats are all online. It never happened.

Absolute legend. played with the best against the best of the world in Italy and never looked out of place. Was a pleasure to watch him play.
The word hero is overly used but this man is a hero of mine.
Me too ……👍
His left foot half volley against Leeds at Elland Road was sublime. Big Mark what an old school top class striker he was.
Then the cross for super Ally's header, what a player.

Celtic fan here, he's an interesting bloke with a brilliant career. Paul Elliot had him on toast though. Some battles they had, especially the aerial duels, class.
Paul Elliot was a dirty hacking barsteward and no he didn’t have him on toast 😂
Charlie miller never holds his arms back, plus he did indeed head butt Stewart Kerr. Deserved red. Fun fact, I was on the bench that day for Celtic.
We're you
Rangers Won The Game
@@chrisgunn4797 yes
This is a question for you guys and Mark. All of these operations and injuries, how do you guys end up in later life? I only played from school and Sunday league and have had Cartilages trimmed and now 2 Knee replacements in my older years.
Great show lads . Keep up the good work
great interview.wonderful career.
It was 1970 in Mexico, not 1972 - incredible that 4 football people there didn't know that.
Found it amazing they were all dumbfounded trying to figure out what year it was. Then Hately mentioned how impressed with the Argentinians who weren't even in it.
Load of misfits trying too hard.....to compound it ...mixing up dates and tournaments.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
One of the most iconic tournaments, Banks save from Pele, all the brilliant Brazilian moments, the final itself , if your a true football fan it’s automatic you know that tournament…..
How hard can it be? England won in 1966, do they not know the World Cup is every 4 years????? Idiots.
Btw, Mark Hately went to my school, by all accounts he was not that amazing at the time.
i still had the Esso poster of the England squad face photos in sketched jerseys & 4 goalies in yellow inc a young Shilton plus Stepney & Co It sat on office door till a bored Labrador ate half in the 00s . Bloody youngsters ..☹️
Really looking forward to this one, along with Mick Harford, Mark Hateley was my favourite player as a kid.
big fan of the 'big man up front' or a big fan of players with MH as their initials?
Do you prefer John Fashanu or Mark Hughes (who was small but a beast
@@sezza8516 I became a fan of Harford after he signed for my club (Bristol City) in the early 80’s & Hateley was probably as it was around the time he was breaking into things & playing for England U21’s & then on to the seniors.
As for Fashanu & Hughes, wasn’t particularly a fan of either, Hughes probably because I didn’t particularly like Man Utd or Wales & Fash came on the scene a little later although I did like Justin Fashanu but that was probably for that goal he scored for Norwich against Liverpool although having recently seen that goal again, it was never how I quite remembered, I always thought it went right in the top corner although seeing it now it probably only goes in about half way up the post, funny how the memory makes you remember certain things differently.
I remember playing against Mark when he was at school. He was at Arnold Comp in Nottingham. I think he scored 4 goals with his head in the match. He was huge as a schoolboy.
Grew up watching him at rangers one off the best headers of the ball I've seen
Who did you play for? I played for redhill in the early 90s
@@lb_75 I played for Beckett and Sherwood Rangers at the time. This was in the 70's. Played against Brian Kilcline at the time too. He was built like a man at 15. You could tell they were both way better than others of the same age.
I remember playing against Mark, primary school I think it was Arno Vale, he was about 6 ft then! We got hammered he scored a hatful. Great pro, great career.
@@collo5034 Yeah, I remember him being a lot taller than most for his age. I played against Brian Kilcline too at that age and he looked like a fully grown man. 😁
Always great watching these interviews. But they all like to add a few bits on. Mark Hateley never played against Forest for Coventry on a winning team. So his crossing the ball in for the winning goal and celebrating in front of Brian Clough either happened in a reserve game or not at all. The stats are all online. It never happened.
You should get Kerry Dixon on guys?
Hopefully its better than the Si Ferry interview, when most of the stories briefly started and ended with "you can read about it in my book".
💯 as much as I liked big Mark at Rangers that podcast was ridiculous
not another Alan Thompson is he?
That wasn’t si ferry it was Alan Thompson
@@andrewjohnston6338 that was another bad one.
@@allnightmike8374 he means when he was on Si Ferrys pod
Rangers fan here. Mark Hateley was a hero. No other words
Fantastic podcast !
