Billy Hughes


Father Larry Duff

Central Defender
How good was he ? And what type of player was he ? I mean I know he was a class act and obviously a legend for us. Asking cos Mayenda did something 2nd half where he held it up and flicked it round the defender and somebody was likening it to Billy Hughes.

Travesty he only got 1 Scotland cap
Scotland were a good team back then. Monty had similar problems with England. An embarrassment of riches in certain positions. Billy would have strolled into the current Scotland team, although modern health and fitness regimes would be a challenge.

I recall Willie Morgan playing in his position
 
He lived in our street when I was very small. Me Dad was playing a good level of non league and went to bed early on a Friday and Billy was playing for Sunderland and Billy didn’t apparently !
