We had a very good scouting network in the West of Scotland back in the mid 1960s.He'd a decent career at Man Utd after leaving us . Moving to them after a short spell at Brentford.That's Ian Hutchinson, not Stewart Houston.Apologies if this has already been pointed out. We need to alert that publication (Goal?) and get them to correct their mistake.

13 hours ago13 hr www.chelseafc.comIn the summer of 1995 the directors at Chelsea took the decision to try to attract top-quality players with experience of winning.Signing Mark Hughes, was for me anyway, a massive statement of intent.He certainly fitted the bill, having won Two league titles, Three FA Cups and a European Cup Winners Cup at his previous club.Although he was never a prolific goalscorer, Hughes' powerful hold-up play helped performances improve through his first season.However, it was not until the arrival of Gianfranco Zola that Chelsea fans saw the best of the Welshman.The pair formed an almost-perfect partnership and were instrumental in us winning the FA Cup in 1997.Hughes, in particular, was outstanding in the fourth round victory over Liverpool, his all-round power turning the game after coming on as substitute with us trailing 2-0.No one loved an acrobatic volley more than Mark HughesThe following year 'Sparky' added to his considerable trophy cabinet by winning the League Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.Although not a regular in the line-up for European games, it was his spectacular volley that won the semi-final against Vicenza with time running out. His Chelsea career ended with a tally of 39 goals from 123 games as well as those three winners' medals.
