Stephen Hughes

[OohAhHuistra]

circumstances do that to certain players I suppose. What age is Kevin Thomson? Fully fit could probably cruise this league.

35 Thomson is those knee injuries certainly ended his career earlier than it should’ve.

 

[JW1988]

He didnt look the part as well, edu got a roasting as well.

100% agree, some don’t see with their eyes it seems.

 

[Blaew]

That young team he played in (the 1980-82 age group) when you look back on it, brought through a fair decent few young players who played their part here or had decent solid professional careers elsewhere:

Maurice Ross, Bob Malcolm, Stephen Hughes, Allan McGregor, Mark Brown, Stephen Dobbie, Steven MacLean, Peter MacDonald.

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

Gies a break, most of the players on were called rank after sunday from FF
There was a witch hunt for tavernier ffs
Ok , they werent of ones quality you would expect

Yeah that’s one game. Your pretty much disrespecting his whole time at Rangers. He was far from rank.

 

[daviemc1872]

daft bowl cut

 

[gaellus]

Metal to think he wasn't even wise enough to buy a few houses from his money when he was playing. So many poorly advised players, or just fannies.

Ironic isn't it?!

 

[RangersAreComing]

My own daft wee memory of him is him becoming World Class, captaining Rangers to multiple Champions League and trebles before retiring to become Manager of Cowdenbeath.

CM03/04, what a game that was!

 

[Stevie McDougall]

A good footballer but always looked like he could have a right good tightener (good feed)
He had legs like pencils.

 

[Brennan Huff]

Worked with his ex father in law. Absolute nonsense about the booze problems. It was gambling that screwed him up

Got done for being 5x over the DD limit & also for attacking a police officer in a separate incident whilst steaming.

If that's not having problems with booze (at some point in his life) i don't know what is.

 

[Trueblue76]

I can back that up.If anyone ever wants a chat with him go to the Horseshoe in Motherwell where he can be found regularly.
He's a decent enough guy but it's fair to say he probably shouldn't drink

Seen him in there recently, thought my eyes were decieving me!

 

[a_weir]

Mad that people speak so lowly of a player who won 5 trophies, in his first two seasons after stepping up from youth. Utterly baffling.

Yes, his last season wasn't great but ffs.

 

[ICA_86]

Seen him in there recently, thought my eyes were decieving me!

Definitely him.

His ex is pals with my best mates Mrs, spoke to Stevie at their engagement party actually. Decent big guy and his ex is a belter.

 

[BSPECIAL]

The only player I know who used to get his socks taken in.

 

[Super_Rangers72]

I find that hard to believe but then again what about Sandy Robertson. Looked about 12 years old but got done for assaulting door staff.

Remember reading that and thought what a guy. Remember the story reported that Robertson was steaming and saying ‘big man’s ma pal’....then the bouncers chucked him down a flight of stairs. Wee Sandy got back up and battered them. Could imagine ars3hole bouncers doing that so fair play wee man, must have been a good fighter. Wonder what happened to him?

 

[JMCK]

Ross was one of the best players on the park in 2002 SC Final. Also had cracking games in Paris and at Parkhead that season.

At the time Ross broke through I wondered if he might be captain one day; sadly, for him, it wasn't to be but him, Malcolm, and Hughes could all be good players on their day.

 

[Voicebox]

No need for that. Have some respect. He did something you could only dream of.

I’ve no idea what he is up to but whatever it is I wish him all the best.

This.
