Today we introduce Australia's first World Cup campaign captain.
Socceroo #167 is Pat Hughes, who, like most players who grew up in the UK had his junior football at school before moving into the juvenile team at Greenock Morton. Pat has nominated as his GrassRoots side St. Mary's Secondary School in Greenock on the Clyde west of Glasgow. Pat captained the Socceroos against the giant killers of the '66 World Cup, North Korea, in our first attempt to qualify. He also, ironically, was skipper against Scotland in '67 and scored one of only 2 goals Man U conceded on their tour of Australia in the same year. A true honour to have another captain of Australia on board. Welcome Pat.
