Barry Hughes (born 31 December 1937) was a Welsh former professional football player and manager, active primarily in the Netherlands.
Career
Playing career
Hughes began his career with the youth team of English team West Bromwich Albion,[1] but left without making a first-team appearance in the Football League.[2]
Coaching career
After retiring as a player, Hughes began his coaching career in 1966 with Alkmaar'54, and later managed a variety of Dutch club sides including HFC Haarlem, Go Ahead Eagles, Sparta Rotterdam, FC Utrecht, MVV and FC Volendam. While managing Haarlem in 1978, Hughes signed young player Ruud Gullit to his first ever professional football contract.[1]
Music career
Hughes released a 7" music single in 1978 called "Voetbal is Koning" (Football is king).[3]
In 1981, he released another single together with "De Kwaffeurs". The song is called "Ik wil op mijn kop een kamerbreed tapijt" ("I want on my head a wall to wall carpet"), a carnival song referencing his baldness. It was in the Dutch top 40 for eight weeks, where it reached place 7 between week 7 and 8 in 1981.[4]
