Mark Hughes • From Manchester United to Chelsea, via Barcelona and Bayern Munich • CV Stories

Mark Hughes made his name as a player across two spells with Manchester United, and in this exclusive interview with The Coaches' Voice he revisits both in a fascinating insight into life at one of the world's biggest clubs.
Having come through the ranks at United, Hughes enjoyed three years of first-team football at Old Trafford before moves overseas to Barcelona and then Bayern Munich. He returned to United for what was a hugely successful spell at the start of the Sir Alex Ferguson era, playing a key role as United ended their long wait for a league title before adding nine more trophies over a seven-year stay.
A partnership with Eric Cantona taught Hughes plenty of new lessons about the game, before a switch to Chelsea led to more success in a star-studded team alongside the likes of Ruud Gullit, Gianluca Vialli and Gianfranco Zola.
Hughes saw out the latter stages of his career at Southampton, Everton and Blackburn before retiring as a player in 2002.

Not Eric Cantona, but it was Sparky Hughes, that made me fell in love with Manchester United when I watch his gritty performance against Crystal Palace in 1990 FA Cup final. I'd say he's in the same bracket as Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Van Persie, and Rooney as Man UTD great strikers of the Premier League era

[@bear1245]

I still have the white cup winners cup shirt when he scored vs Barca. Amazing technique, one of the best.

[@WaterCarrier07]

What I like about this channel is you see a lot of people who you have a an assumed view on and that they’re just one of those managers that float around bottom half teams or they’re done and dinosaurs in the game, but actually when they talk about football one-on-one to the camera you see how knowledgeable they are and how much they care

[@finding_aether]

People don't realise these ppl are the cream of the crop. Its that its brutal at the top. If the average joe were to manage ManUtd, it would not be inconceivable that they wil get a player revolt on hand and get relegated.

[@bear1245]

He was an amazing striker. Great technique and hard af! These managers that knock about at the bottom teams are limited by budgets. The knowledge he has from the world class coaches and managers he worked under is why he became a decent manager.

[@philiphickey9901]

Absolutely a legend...what a player sparky was ..was very young watching him play but still remember how brilliant he was #respect

[@Bigbaz86]

Underappreciated by some United fans probably for managing city. Best I've ever seen with back to goal. Wonderful technique. Highly skilled and teak tough. A big game player

[@kcapo89]

Heard a lot about his hold up play was he better at it than drogba

[@Theyshallnotdivide]

​@@kcapo89incredible ball stuck to him like glue massive arse and thighs,strong as an ox and scored some incredible goals check the one out against Spain, never seen a better volley scored in British football.

[@GedAustin]

One of the hottest sparks that lit up man United's fire. Mark Hughes was a bulldog striker of Lancashire. Brilliant goals and one of the best shielders of the ball. A real team player of the ethos of, all for one and one for all.

[@gerardjames9971]

A wonderful player. He had the heart of a lion and rescued United so many times. An absolute warrior and a genuine big-game player. Only Drogba could claim to be better in the biggest games. We didn't beat Oxford in the League Cup though, they knocked us out after a couple of replays - Sorry Hughesie!

[@johnkealy2238]

An absolute legend in the game! His goal against Oldham in the cup semi-final really said it all for me about Mark Hughes!

[@paulterrelonge4381]

Mark Hughes = Rock and Roll..... one of the Greatest Of All Time.....

[@den8375]

It is so sad to see our forwards playing like this now. Mark Hughes was a complete package. He might not be the top scorer but he contributed in every aspect of the game. True legend!

[@AriAri-gr2uc]

Always my favorite Man U player. Totally committed. Had skills to match. One of the few British players who could execute a proper overhead kick. Never made a dive to get a penalty. Could always be counted on to hold the ball. Never made a fuss though he was tough. I always thought that AF sort of betrayed him when he let him go in 1995.

[@Paul_the_Bookworm]

Legend

[@DevoteeOfAergia]

Excellent video. Too young to have seen him play but he has always come off as a classy manager and more importantly a good human being.

[@sirperybLakeney]

Best ever volleyer in the British game (with all due resoect to peter Lorimer).

[@drainforce4439]

[@paulterrelonge4381]

Being in a team who have had years of no Trophies to now attaining Trophies says everything....

[@andrewburne7591]

The F.A cup semi-final last minute volley v Oldham in 94, great memories

[@coach_if1908]

First like first watch first comment you have all my respect keep going ♥️♥️💪🏽

[@chrisjones1931]

I always thought, what if Sparky would've/ could've played for England? He probably wouldn't have wanted to being Welsh, but what if there was an English bloodline in his family history? If there was (good possibility) and he did alternatively play for England in the late 80's and early 90's 1st team upfront with Lineker (2 completely different types of striker) also with Barnes, Gazza and all the other decent midfielders to supply him, he would have made a huge difference, especially at Italia 90 and maybe get England qualify for USA 94? Not to take anything away from the Wales team but they got nowhere in his time playing for them at an international level, I sometimes think what England could have won with his strong aggressive style, excellent finishing and his cannon ball power volleying.

[@lancashirebomber9744]

hard as nails was sparky!

[@jamestait8676]

If football had a god it would be mark Hughes. Diego Madonna was Argentina's Mark Hughes.
