Hughes was a great manager for Blackburn, one of our best ever. Gave a young lad many happy memories. Playing in Europe regularly was a dream for me as I was slightly too young to remember the Premier League title win.
If ever anyone was going to score a volley it was Sparky, i was a kid when he came back to United from Barcelona and a massive Whiteside fan but Sparky stole my heart, he was hard as nails, took no nonsense and he lead the line by example, ill never forget the volley against Oldham, his volleys were supernatural, he wasn’t selfish either. Enjoyed so many moments at united because him, if only we had a striker like him at United today! Wonderful player, looks a lot healthier without the stress of management!
Sparky was a great player and quite a good manager. Im a soton fan and i will always be grateful for keeping us up when we looked doomed. Good to see him starting from scratch again with bradford city. All the best to him. Good guy.
To any younger football fan, watch anything you can of his career. He was unlike anything you will see in the modern game. He was raw entertainment. I used to pretend that I was a poor version of Mark Hughes when I was a kid knocking around with my mates. One of my all time favourite players. I have paid the cost of a ticket just to watch him play. His footballing skills, mental attributes, style of play, contribution to other players... just totally absent from the modern game (and I'm not a United or Chelsea fan). As a player, I wished my team could have signed him...as a manager...I was gutted the rumours never came true when my team had the opportunity to acquire his services. As a man, he is a credit to his profession (as this interview attests). Without players like Mark Hughes, I'd not have bothered with football as a kid...It is just not as good these days without this type of player. He had a great partnership with Cantona and Vialli but I'd have loved to have seen him play along side Batistuta - the power of those two up front would be exhibition football (as it was with Cantona and Vialli so cant complain). I would love to see these players break up the focus on tactics and systems of the modern game - players then had inspirational determination. Even average players today have the option of private jets without putting in a shift.
Always loved Sparky, awesome player and top manager. Comes across really well too. My girlfriend and I once had two cats, the girl cat was called Molly, the boy cat, I called Hughsey. Great player.
ONE OF THE BEST TO WEAR OUR RED SHIRT. SCORER OF MANY GREAT GOALS IT IS HARD TO PICK HIS BEST.I THINK OF THE GOALS AGAINST BARCELONA IN THE CUP WINNERS CUP FINALS ARE MINE.
Sven was a better attacking manager but thankful he signed Kompany, Zabaleta, Barry, Tevez etc some top signings but he was far too conservative as a coach too many draws
Hard to explain Hughes to the young generation. Awesome strength, never stopped running, fighting for the team. Everything you want as a supporter.
you wont get a better man than mark hughes what a legend all ye young boys google him and see how good he was words dont describe sparky
AWESOME Player. I am a LFC fan too. Strong,Aggressive,Master of the Volley. Just Quality.
Sparky was brilliant! Great partnership up front for utd with choccy (mclair)
How is this man not on TV more?? his career and knowledge is second to none

Very articulate. Kompany was a master signing
Brilliant interview, really enjoyed the career long insight. Still can’t believe he’s the Bradford City manager!

Good memories with him as a manager in Man City when I became a fan very young till today of the skyblues
I love him. He's gorgeous!
Remember his goal (s) v spain for Wales and against Barcelona, for utd....his last minute goal vs oldham in the fa cup semi was a corker too.

“He was a brilliant trainer first out, last in” 😂
I was at the game where Sparkey made his debut. Manor Road .... what a shit hole.

He is a quiet guy, but you listen to everything he says when he does speak.
Funny that City gave Sven the boot on favour of this guy.
