HE’S A BRIGHT SPARK

ONLY Sam Allardyce (seven) has managed more Premier League clubs than Mark ‘Sparky’ Hughes — he has managed joint-second most (six), with Roy Hodgson.

HUGHES managed 466 Premier League games, which ranks eighth all-time.

HE has taken charge of 623 matches — winning 38 per cent, drawing 25 per cent, losing 37 per cent.

BRADFORD is his first job outside the top flight.
