Mark Hughes' Goal - 1991 - Cup Winners Cup Final

[zzzaaa0990]

Barcelona just didn't turn up for this game and were caught on the hop.Amen.Fast forward to 2009 and 2011 and the nasters of Tiki Taka were tearing man u/fa apart with consumate ease.Also a mention goes out to 1994 (4-0).I like it.Amen.

[TheDarkSoul10]

I know what high school mark went too >:D

[Noodles37UK]

He hit that from outer space, but saw his chance and got it.

[PerennialKillJoy]

What a finish. Fantastic.

[Staff777]

I have the Rotterdamn shirt signed by Sharpe, Hughes, Ince and viv anderson.

Im being buried with it

[aboothunitedstates]

He was simply one of the best strikers ever. Natural ability and as strong as an ox, with great control. He wasn't the most prolific scorer, but he tended to score top quality goals and was a big game player, often scoring the goal that counted, like this one.

I remember him getting a standing ovation at Old Trafford for just trapping a ball.

[aboothunitedstates]

@aboothunitedstates

Schmeichel sent the ball into orbit, as he often did. Hughes went to meet it as 3 defenders went to meet him. Almost in slow motion, the ball drops dead on the end of Hughes toe and he comes out of a crowd of defenders, does a little bootleg turn towards goal and puts in a cross. I've never seen it before or since and I've never seen the crowd give an ovation for it either. A genius player who was about far more than putting the ball in the net.

[madbadJim]

love that goal... who is that commentator ? it seems like he always gets the best matches...

but just a footnote... this footage was from 91 which to everyone who is 28 +, was a couple of years ago.... but it looks so so antiquated and retro!! crazy

[vicdeakin]

@madbadJim Brian Moore from ITV, or bleedin' UTV over here

[lbgunit]

WHO CARES

[brownowl70]

Great goals from a top class striker. Hughsie, Hughsie!

[danhardwick77]

awful pass from the full back leading up to the goal though, I bet he felt terrible afterwards

[BillDFC]

That goal probably saved Alex Ferguson from the sack!

[wackybumcheek]

this was the start of the united revival no? anyway i loved hughes. when i smashed a ball again a wall as A kid i shouted "hughes"!

[capokhatpin]

Maybe now he's been turfed out of city, he can continue to be a utd legend......

[TooMuch2AM]

Great to see the late Les Sealey there. Fantastic man and a fantastic keeper.

[TheUTubeTeamSucks]

Great Hughes goal, although i remember the commentary more i think when Moore thinks he's taken it too wide just before he whacks it. I reckon Moore was my fave commentator, i loved the inflections in his voice

[hulksmash05]

c'mon united please beat barcelona somehow.

my prediction

2-1

ronaldo-pen10,64

messi 89

[UKMAN23]

We gonna beat them again!

With Ronaldo & Rooney!

[capokhatpin]

supreme competitor.....

[daveallanon]

classic goal - great player. To Ammo360, I think he is a good manager. Did well at both Wales and blackburn, think there are serious problems at City tho - prob arent getting all, from the papers

[pars4245]

they need to bring back the CWC, and make UEFA the way it used to be...les sealey really stepped up to the plate in this match..

[arthur7171]

Good goal.

He won't be in management though come New Year.

[Ammo360]

Seems he was a better player than he is a manager, gonna get us bloody relegated the richest club in the world. This time last year with Sven we were 5th in the bloody league with 16 more points than we have now. Worst part of this being we spent 82 million in the summer on new players.

When you look at clubs like Spurs, Newcastle and now blackburn and sunderland all moving up the table past us since they got new managers, i really cant see how hughes is still in charge. P-45 on Monday.

[davidronaldp]

What a goal

[Franck975ll]

None of you are old enough to remember mark Hughes disgraceful dive that year that got them to the final!! they wouldnt have won it that year they cheated his disgraceful dive in the quarter final (i think it was) won them the cup winners cup.

[texasw]

I can remember him pretending to be head-butted by a player from one of the Moscow teams in an early round of a European competition, and the guy getting sent off. I don't know if this the same incident. (I suspect the one I've described is from the Champions League.)

[Zorg2006]

@texasw It was at Old Trafford against Montpellier, the player in question was Pascal Baills.

[texasw]

@Zorg2006 Good call. I would never have known that. I think I was confusing 'one of the Moscow teams' with the time Utd got beat at home by one of them. Moscow Dynamo (?) were something like 8-1 to win and were probably "Bet of the Day" in the Racing Post. I can remember one Utd fan in the office betting on them.

[kob210780]

Against who?

the semi final was against Legia Warsaw and that was pretty much over after United won the first leg 3-1 in Poland.

The quarter final was against Montpellier and United won that thanks mailnly, to a Clayton Blackmore free kick ( I can't remember the other goal) in the second leg after drawing the first leg 1-1 at home.

[ant8tfive]

@Franck975ll oh get over it, united winning this cup got english teams back into europe. and are champions league win in 99 making way for teams like arsenal, chelsea and liverpool to spunge of are success, and get into the champions league by finishing 3rd or 4th

[xMissYumx]

@Franck975ll

All footballers do that - it's part of the game. Get over it.

[Fletcher689908]

@Franck975ll

How can a dive in the QF win you a trophy? The only thing you can win in the quarter final is a place in the semi final.

A shame if this is true, though.

[Zorg2006]

@Franck975ll Considering I went to every single match including the final I must have been old enough, you stupid cunt.

[duncr]

What a goal! It has always stuck in my memory

[wrexhamforeve]

A fantastic player and I don`t even support United. He is from same vilage as me and we grew up together and fame did`not affect him one bit. A nice lad who never got enough credit during his career. He is a United legend but a huge Chelsea fan.

[duxberry1958]

one of my fav goal,s of all time.... R.I.P. les sealey

[seanyboy8]

R.I.P Les Sealey

[Zorg2006]

I was there, getting piss wet through and not caring. Great memories.

[hexenductionhour]

Ahhh....memories. I actually cried tears of joy when this goal went in. Good old Hughesie, what a guy

[petemusic23]

how the hell is that ONSIDE lololol!

[molvicorleone]

you dopey cunt, watch it carefully.

[petemusic23]

seen it..yep beats the offside trap, no need for naughty swear words tho was there?

[cantonadenmark]

Little Ciddy are not even on our radar...mid table mediocrity does not scare us....so well done to Hughes...a huge pay cheque while taking a club from nowhere to nowhere...still a United legend.....take the money and Run Sparkey.....

[Knighthawk1985]

How do Man United fans feel about Sparky becoming manager of Man City ?

[cajjer]

He's a legend, so, not bothered

[marknewton1]

We all wish him a sincere and modest career at shity.

[intellichick21]

Mark Hughes...what a legend..

[thegurujames]

Mark was a great player and even better manager so it seems!

[wodenschild]

I remember playing football with the Dutch Police outside the ground before kick-Off. A nostalic time, RIP Les Sealey!

[mancunian1234]

Mr Angry.Les Sealey nickname.

[Cubfan20032000]

Mark Hughes...Legend..Great Football...for one team in english football is Manchester United Football Club!

[spiroks]

Legend!

[KingSomething1]

An absolute legend!

[uberman123]

My favourite United player ever. I've lost count of how many amazing goals he scored. He was almost duty-bound to score this second one against Barcelona after cheekily goal-snatching Steve Bruce's header!

[suedehead28]

What a game remember that goal well, Loved Mark Hughes, some of the goals we scored for Utd were incredible

[roversrule87]

great goal, what an angle

[jimcon1]

looks like a typical 365 pile of shyte :-)
