Hughen Riley R.I.P. on 13:45 - Feb 20 with 1281 views | Edindale | Great player - what we could do with him in our current squad. Fully committed, athletic, skill-full, tenacious and chipped in with useful goals from midfield. R.I.P. |  | |  |

That includes a memorable hat-trick in a game against (i think) Brighton, a 3-3 draw With the loss of Vinnie Leech through injury, he came in and filled that gap, and more RIP |  |

I always thought he was a forward, he did seem to score a few. Oh, for a player like Hughen in today's squad..... RIP. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Yes, he came into the first team in the 67-8 team but lost his place in the team when Leech was signed. Played one game in the promotion season. Then a regular after Leechs career ending injury. |  | |  |
Hughen Riley R.I.P. on 20:40 - Feb 20 with 745 views | EllDale | I think he played number seven in a midweek game at Doncaster? I couldn’t go as it was a school night! The team were short of goals and Joe Fletcher had a handful of games there as well before Norman Whitehead reclaimed that particular shirt. |  | |  |

correct….it was the only away loss in the first 9 away games that season and Docaster went up as champions. His hat trick v brighton was in the first game after the coventry FACup victory. |  | |  |
