Involved in a ruck with our very own Mike Flanagan when they were both at Charlton.
'Both players saw red as frustrations boiled over in FA Cup tie against non-league Maidstone. Flanagan was exonerated, but Hales was sacked. The law forced Charlton to reinstate him and Flanagan was promptly sold to Crystal Palace before returning to the Valley for an unexpected reunion with Hales.
With little time left in the game, Flanagan hesitated before putting Derek Hales through on goal and his Charlton team-mate was caught offside. Hales remonstrated and threw the first punch as the pair went toe-to-toe.'

On the twitter thread someone says Hales lost it when Flanagan called him a "one-bollocked barsteward ". The trauma of that groin injury never left him.
