#3 Mark Hughes (Stoke City)
Trending
Mark Hughes had a great start to his career after he was spotted by scouts from Manchester United. Playing with the Red Devils for six years, he transformed into a prolific goalscorer, which meant that his sale to Barcelona in 1986 was quite a shock for the United faithful.
He couldn’t quite emulate the success of Gary Lineker with Catalan club and was soon shipped off on loan to Bayern Munich before he made a return to Old Trafford in 1988.
Hughes put on his scoring boots for the Red Devils again and had a stellar seven years under Sir Alex Ferguson’s tutelage. He won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups during his second tenure at the club among a handful of other trophies. He moved on to Chelsea in 1995 and became an integral part of the side’s rise to the top of the heap towards the later half of the decade.
The former Stoke City manager went on to play for Southampton, Everton and Blackburn Rovers before he finally called it quits just at 39.
