April 13Apr 13 Mark Hughes scoring with a spectacular volley for Wales against Spain in April 1985. Wales won 3-0..“I remember the ball going into the box,” says Hughes, who was 21 at the time. “I didn’t challenge for the initial one – I just stepped out, thinking it might drop. It came into my direction and bounced quite high. I actually thought the referee had blown his whistle. I don’t know whether somebody in the crowd blew a whistle, but I thought there’d been a foul. The ball came up and I thought, ‘Why not just hit it and see where it goes?’“I used to stand on that terrace as a young lad and cheer Wrexham on, so to do it in front of the Wrexham Kop was a special moment for me.”
