Mark Wayne Hateley (born November 7, 1961 in Derby ) is a former English football player of the 1980s and 1990s. He has coached the Liberian national team since 2009 .

Athletic career

The center forward , whose father Tony was also a professional footballer and was active as a striker for Aston Villa , Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC , learned to play football at Coventry City , where at the age of 17 he made it 3-0 in the First Division - Debuted victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of the 1978/79 season. In a total of five years Hateley scored 25 goals in a total of 94 league games and then moved to the second division club Portsmouth in 1983 . In addition, he had completed 19 league games on loan for the US club Detroit Express in 1980 .

In Portsmouth he developed into a goalscorer and scored 22 goals in 38 league games, which earned him his first international match as a substitute for the English national team on June 2, 1984 , which was lost 2-0 to the Soviet Union . Hateley had previously played ten games for England's U21 youth team .

The Italian club AC Milan became aware of Hateley through the good performance and signed him in the summer of 1984 for a transfer fee of one million pounds. With the defensive midfielder and compatriot Ray Wilkins he formed the first duo of two English national players at a foreign club and should replace the unlucky Luther Blissett in his position. Hateley quickly found his way around the new environment and from now on, statistically speaking, was able to score a goal in every third game. He was nicknamed Attila by the supporters of Milan because of his longer hair and his goal-scoring potential .

In the national team, Hateley had the same chances of playing alongside Gary Lineker , as did Kerry Dixon and Peter Beardsley, despite a relatively poor scoring in the run-up to the 1986 World Cup in Mexico . When he was able to score two goals in a preparatory game against Mexico and then the decisive goal in a 1-0 win against Canada , Robson decided on Hateley as Lineker's strike partner. After two weak games, however, in the first two group encounters against Portugal and then Mexico with its premature end of the game by substitution, Hateley was exchanged for Beardsley for the decisive group game. Since this measure was successful, he came to only ten more minutes as a substitute in the round of 16 against Paraguay . In the following years he was only to play as a substitute and only made three substitutions late in the second half of the 1988 European Championship in Germany .

In 1987 Hateley then joined the French club AS Monaco , which was coached by Arsène Wenger at the time. With his national team colleague Glenn Hoddle in his own ranks, he was then able to win the French championship in his first season. This first title win was to be followed by many more when he moved to Scotland for the Glasgow Rangers in 1990 .

In his five years with Rangers Hateley was able to win the Scottish Championship every season and added the Scottish Cup and the Domestic League Cup in 1992 and 1993 respectively. In addition, he was named Scotland's Footballer of the Year in 1994 by both journalists and fellow footballers . In the national team, Hateley was no longer considered by coach Bobby Robson and was not in the squad for the 1990 World Cup in Italy . Due to his sustained good performance with the Glasgow Rangers, however, he was permanently in conversation for the 1992 European Championship in Sweden . The game against Czechoslovakia (after a three-year break in the national team) in the run-up to the European Championship should not be followed by any further international matches.

Hateley scored 115 goals in 222 competitive games for Glasgow in five years and formed an effective strike duo with Ally McCoist . In the summer of 1995, he then joined his former teammate Ray Wilkins, who was now a coach, at the Queens Park Rangers , but where he could not build on the performance from the Scottish period and was then loaned to Leeds United for a short time . After only six games for Leeds, he returned to the Queens Park Rangers. Hateley moved to the third division Hull City in 1997, to end his football career as a player- coach there after two seasons .

He returned to the Glasgow Rangers, who had meanwhile accepted him into the club's own Hall of Fame , and took on a representative role there. In 2009 he became the coach of the Liberian national team .
