A few years ago, I was conducting a funeral service for a long time Rangers supporter. I thought it would be a nice gesture if the club would send a note to the family on Rangers header notepaper expressing sympathy to the family and contacted the club. I received the most beautiful personal letter addressed to the family signed by Mark Hately when he was working for Rangers in an administrative role. A real gentleman. Didn't get treated well by Rangers at the end. Thank you Mark
His left foot half volley against Leeds at Elland Road was sublime. Big Mark what an old school top class striker he was.
Then the cross for super Ally's header, what a player.
@@Eggyfart83 Back when football was football mate. Not the pish we’re watching nowadays
yeah one of those classic old school strikers you dont see anymore , the days when there was no snowflakes falling about like they shot by a smiper etc
@@linfieldaces1 Back when rangers were rangers not the tribute act we have today
The word hero is overly used but this man is a hero of mine.
Me too ……👍
Mark Hateley at his peak was unplayable. Very underrated.
His dad was better
Unplayable? Really? I dont think Cruyff, Pele, di Stefano, and Diego were ever unplayable. But Mark Hateley was?! Fuck off.
So his dad was better than unplayable?! What utter bollocks is this?
@@wonderland1985 No he wasn't.
😂😂😂
I'm ashamed to say I had forgotten about him until this appeared in my feed. Fascinating listen, and what a career he had. Such a good listen.
Hateley is one of the finest players i have watched , how i wish rangers had him right now instead of the big powderpuff striker they have
Rangers are pish
As a Leeds Utd fan, I totally agree with the previous fan about the goal he scored against us that day. It was absolutely amazing, and Mark derserves every accolade going. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your great journey.
Absolute legend. played with the best against the best of the world in Italy and never looked out of place. Was a pleasure to watch him play.
Absolute Legend what player he was for Glasgow Rangers
The new club who play at Ibrox is called Sevco Rangers !
And Cov
An absolute colossal of a striker
I am old enough to remember his father, Tony Hatley, playing in the 1960's for Aston Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool, Coventry, Birmingham. A formidable striker, in his own right (who had a slightly better goal per game ratio!)
Same here. Saw him when he signed for Notts County in 1970 in the old Division 4 and helped them to the title,
yeah remember him playing for us brum, we took the holte end that day,always remember shouting hatley,hatley. we lost 1 nil 12 april 69
Another senior citizen here who remembers Tony Hatley. Chelsea (my club) signed him for a club record £100,000 in 1966 from Aston Villa, where he had been a regular goal scorer. Unfortunately the system at Chelsea just didn't suit his style of play. Within less than a year he was sold onto Liverpool where he found his goal scoring touch once again. One stand out memory was his brilliant headed winning goal for us against Leeds Utd during the 1967 FA cup semi-final at Villa Park
We only had Tony for a season in the end, but he made a huge contribution (28 goals). It's a mystery really why Shanks let him go. It was said he 'didn't fit the style'. Hate to think how many he would have scored if he'd actually 'fit the system'!! Saddest part was we spent the cash from Tony on Alun Evans who ended up flopping (though probably in large part due to the trauma of being glassed in a pub). Still, by the time Evans was leaving we had Keegan, which wasn't a bad upgrade!
I remember the h bomb hunt and hatley
THE BIG MAN. What a footballer and a gentleman. I’m a Chelsea fan but could see that he was a world class striker. I spent a lot of time in Glasgow 1992-1995 so saw him at his electrifying best. I would confidently say he is Rangers greatest ever striker. I first saw him play in a 2-2 draw Chelsea v Pompey at the bridge. I was 11 years old but Hateley tore Chelsea apart. My dad said to me. England could win the World Cup with him. If only Bobby Robson played 3 up front against Argentina. Nice to see Big Hateley looking well. Great interview lads. Never knew this channel existed until now.
Hateley was the best header of a ball ever
Andy Gray and Rudd Gullit
@@jota55581 not a chance but they where gd 👍👍
Diffently
Celtic fan here but will admit hateley was a class striker, wud always buy him on championship manager
Both him and big Pierre for Celtic two top class big strikers of that day mate. Miss those days😔
Celtic fan with the name copland the irony 😂
😂😂😍
Always remember the bigman saying in an interview when he came back to Rangers... I'm coming home, What a man WATP.
Absolutely a brilliant interview. Well done to everyone involved in front of the cameras and behind. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A brilliant episode, right up there.
What a striker him and super ally together 💙🇬🇧
This popped up on my page,I'm glad I watched it,great interview with Mark Hately,new subscriber!
David carradine kung-fu . Grasshopper.
I remember Marks dad Tony Hateley,what a player Tony was. YNWA
Good listen. Interesting guy. A far cry from those players whose boring stories revolve around being pissed or acting the fool all the time. More like Mark please!
It's about there life in football. Maybe it's about being pissed and having a laugh, but that was a big part of football back then like it or not. Great podcast interesting guy keep up the good work guys
Yep,he was very driven,did things his own way& mixed with some of the best!
Great conversation..And Mark Hateley has lead a interesting life& a successful football career!!And he speaks his mind!
And yet he mentions (twice) having a hangover. I guess you didn't listen?🤷♂
@@CB-xr1eg He mentions it Twice! in an career spanning how many yrs ( and time playing in Europe& the U.S) So the comment wad quite Apt! And he certainly didn't devote the whole interview discussing his ' Boozing' habits! .And as much as these fellas have a good channel,sometimes it sounds like all they want to talk about is who got ' Chinned' & who was Drunk!. Imo..
Really enjoyed this. Great career and spoke well throughout.
92,000, the days of real football , what an atmosphere….
What a bloke always liked the way he played the game and like him even more now I've heard him speak and by the way talks a lot of sense to him and Mick Hartford the best two guests you have had well done lads
Mick Harford*
It was 1970 in Mexico, not 1972 - incredible that 4 football people there didn't know that.
Found it amazing they were all dumbfounded trying to figure out what year it was. Then Hately mentioned how impressed with the Argentinians who weren't even in it.
Load of misfits trying too hard.....to compound it ...mixing up dates and tournaments. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
One of the most iconic tournaments, Banks save from Pele, all the brilliant Brazilian moments, the final itself , if your a true football fan it’s automatic you know that tournament…..
How hard can it be? England won in 1966, do they not know the World Cup is every 4 years????? Idiots. Btw, Mark Hately went to my school, by all accounts he was not that amazing at the time.
i still had the Esso poster of the England squad face photos in sketched jerseys & 4 goalies in yellow inc a young Shilton plus Stepney & Co It sat on office door till a bored Labrador ate half in the 00s . Bloody youngsters ..☹️
Growing up a rangers fan he was a joy to watch. My dad got us season tickets from 1991-1997 and that team holds very special memories, he was unplayable in the champions league 1992/93 season
Him and super Ally up top made my youth. His goal against Leeds in the battle of Britain... wow 👌 🇬🇧
Unbelievable up front with McCoist
Wish he'd stop calling him Alistair haha
Then the rangers died
@@user-jz4ir3oh4e have a day off mate
Great show lads . Keep up the good work
Hadn’t fully appreciated Mark Hateley . Impressive bloke no messing .
I'm from the same manor as Mark in Nottingham and played against him at schools level. At 16 he was stand out. Especially in the air. I remember his Dad Tony on the side lines shouting encouragement. Both were brilliant number 9's.
me to i was 11 he played for Burton Joyce he was bid lad then
@@DavidFernley Yes. Can you a remember Brian Kilkline? Another big unit who dominated through the school years. He was 6ft at 12 years old.
@@paulhank7967 yes he played for Notts county Coventry city he was massive
@@DavidFernley He played at Arnold Hill school (if I remember right with Steve Hodge?) He got 4 headers against us with me at centre half. I was shit.
@@markdisney260 that's true he did. JR school was burton Joyce under 11s when i payed against him i am sure he was only 9 at the time, the game was at east Bridgford
Brilliant interview guys. What a career and fascinating stuff!
Another top episode right up there!
Fascinating interview.
Very few sons of football stars ( etc Tony Hateley) are upstaged by their off spring but Mark has done it superbly, great interview.
Frank Lampard.
Tony Hartley, Martin kemp,Gary kemp and Steve norman.what a back four.So true.no one got through the barricades 😅🎉😂❤
@@Pete-go9wlgold period the 1980's though.....
An outstandig player. first time I saw him play for the Coventry youth team I knew he was destined for the top.
Remember him scoring for pompey against Barnsley in 80s it was a superb strike. When you see class you never forget it
I suppose like many people i forgot about his stay in Italy,( and the players he mixed it with)Monaco,Rangers..Some impressive Resume! ..And when u see the brief clips, u see he was a real handful,great in the Air& fast..Excellent interview!
Instantly makes my greatest Rangers 11 absolute legend Big Attila the Hun 🔴⚪🔵
As a Pompey fan …….. Mark Hateley was the best header of the ball ever , Mark was a legend at Pompey although just for a season …….. loved this podcast so much. It still is hard to believe that Mark was still a Pompey player when he scored that goal against Brazil for England at the Maracana . I wonder if he remembers the game at Stamford bridge when Kerry Dixon missed 2 penalties, im sure he scored that day. Top man Mark and thanks ………..
Noel Blake wasn't a bad header of the ball either :)
Thanks lads!
Love big Mark, From Perth Scotland 🇬🇧 ✨🙏🫡 P.s- that goal against Leeds gave me my first football moment with my Yorkshire Rangers supporting Dad x ☎️
Get the head down
That's not the Scottish flag ye walloper
Look forward to listening to this on a long drive for company. Worth a sub on this episode alone with TH as the guest.
A great episode… Big Hateley was immense and what a scorer…. He was a Legend at Rangers……
Best guest you've had, my personal bias aside. Just casually mentioning Paolo Rossi like it was the most normal thing in the world 😱😱😱 wonderfully complex character, and an engrossing interview. Don't know how you'll top this x
Look at him. Still in great shape.
Outstanding. What a life. Lads, where do you go from here? Keep them coming. 😊🎉
Must be in the DNA never new his father was a top player but as a rangers fan Mark and ally mccoist had a amazing strike partnership never lost won the league every year those two were upfront mccoist mccoist waa scoring 50 goals a season mark 30 .. but his son Tom played in the spl starting with motherwell wasn't a striker but was a good crosser off the ball could hit a free kick infact I remember when he first came to Scotland he scored a free kick vs rangers 😢 mark you better have a word with him ground him or something 😉😆😆 but yeah football was definitely in the Hatley family but mark was a master at heading the ball and putting it in the back off the net .. and with players like Laudrup and gazza wiping in crosses they new if they put it in the right area big mark would get his head on the end off it and more than likely score best headers off a ball I've seen and would assist mccoist regularly winning the ball in the air and mccoist would score .. good times 💓
You guys do a fab and funny job, gotta say Mark Hateley was my favourite one. Thanks guys👍
Top episode lads, Mark Hateley a top man cheers Mark
That Milan goal is the greatest header ever. No contest.
Derek Johnstone v Wales. 1978.
Van Basten's against Real Madrid is better
Of course it's subjective,but that Header against Inter Milano was fantastic!
Paolo Verdis with the cross. The oldest looking footballer I've ever seen. Great player though.
Fantastic podcast !
At the end you say about people going up and down in football levels, google George Raynor from Yorkshire assistant manager at Aldershot to manager of Sweden won Olympic gold, left to manage Latzio then Juventus, then Coventry back to Sweden where he took them to the World Cup final (first English man to get a World Cup medal) at the end of the tournament he left to manage Skegness town unsung hero’s of England football
86 was quite a year for big Mark. Involved with England and sang for us in the Eurovision.
I could not believe we got MH to Fratton Park, he was brilliant for us.
Pompey were one of the biggest payers, I was very surprised when some of the 80s players told me how much more they got there than even Leeds, among other "bigger" clubs. An era of cash on the turnstiles and 20,000 people turning up when 13,000 was the official attendance might have had something to do with it.
@@marcdavis7583the amount of games I went to in the 1980's where the ground was packed, yet the attendance was put at the ground being half full was ridiculous. Tax fiddle at it's finest!!
Cool interview. What a career. Top player
Milan went on to do great things after his chat with Berlusconi...👌 Bringing the Mrs as no.1 choice for the lads session is a straight red. Clear to see why Gazza was put in with him 🥱
Celtic fan but let him at il pavone when I was a kid. Lovely guy.
Pardon?
@@PD-jj4fohe means 'met' him
Legend of a Rangers man,so many cherished memories WATP.
That is without doubt some footballing journey that other players would kill for.
Never had an idea how eclectic & interesting his career was. Really interesting stories as the podcast went on. A good bloke and obviously a top pro.
Humble guy, isn't he? Every story is about how great he was.
I know comes across as absolutly full of arrogance
What a bloke. Great days.
One of your best pods, probably cos he has played with some of the games greatest.
Probs one of the worst, could’ve slept through it. Arrogant boring bloke
@@calumrobinson2463 🙄The Water's Always Tepid.
"Phone the council??" I appreciated it Chrissy lad! Good pod the boys, genuinely interesting career.
Superb listen / watch.
Trigger last week, Mark this week, you guys are at the top of your game!
Absolute Rangers legend! Very much underrated and deserved much more in terms England caps achieved!
great interview.wonderful career.
He could have added a Sean Connery story or two as he was always around that Rangers team back then, especially the away trips in Europe
Rangers fan here. Mark Hateley was a hero. No other words
What a striker Hateley was
Absolute proper Centre Forward!!! 💪🏼🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧
Great interview, would like to have heard more about his England career and World Cup 86
Came up on the feed and I watched straight through which I never do with a video this long. I bet he could have gone on a couple more hours, great Cloughie impression too.
Absolute Rangers legend ! grew up watching him and Ally banging goals in for fun !
No question this man is one helluva player and has one incredible story. I can remember his Dad playing. Mark came outta nowhere.
Really good episode remember him upfront with Brian Deane and Ian Rush up front at Leeds
Dark days them!
Another top one this lads!
always will be a legend.
Very well done this was brilliant. Do not blame Mark for missing out on the the pope, Jack Charlton fell asleep, when he went with the Irish squad [ i think during Italia 90]. Did not the Millan fans call Mark Atilla [as in the Hun], I did not know they called him Tornado. Though Mark looked like his father with a very similar build, to me he bears a remarkable resemblance to Phil Oakey of the Human League then and now [with the hair and without it]. Bravo and keep up the good work lads
Fed
🤣
Brilliant episode, have to try get super Ally
On fire this series
easily 1 of the best shows to date, what a player Mark was and this prompted me to look at some of his goals, imo he is 1 of the countries finest headers of the ball, up there with Shearer and Les Ferdinand
In 1963 Manchester United bought Denis Law for £115.000. The Tony Hateley signing happened 3 years later so he was not the first £100.000 signing.
Aye, Denis was the first.👍
Back in the late 1970s I met Marks Dad, Tony when he worked for a North West Brewery, And once mentioned I had seen him quite a lot when he played for Liverpool in the 1967-68 season, even though I supported Everton. And how he scored a few hat-tricks in the 20 plus goals, despite this he was sold at the end of that season. To think some sides today would pay a kings ransom for someone who could score over 20 goals a season. Everton especially.
Pele did not play against Coventry despite what Hatley says
Brilliant again and mark comes across as very intelligent
Another amazing video guys, I did notice Jon wasn't saying much.
His goal for England in the Maracana in 1984 get overlooked a bit because of the world class goal by John Barnes, even though it was the goal that sealed a 2-0 win.
When was the first Mexico? 1970? *looks down at clip board* "Yeeeeeeeeah...."
72?! Yeahhh
Mark was outstanding for rangers
Great podcast lad’s really interesting and entertaining, Nark Hayley is quite a man 🍺
You should get Kerry Dixon on guys?
One of my hero's growing up 🇬🇧
Back in the mid 90's, he was player/manager of Hull City, and he went into a Hull Pub after it was closed. The barman said " sorry sir, we are closed". Mark Hateley said "Do you not know who I am?!". The barman said "Yeah, manager of a team at the bottom of division 4 and you're going to take us out the league for the first time in our history. Now, please, you'll have to leave. We are closed". Thank goodness he was sacked. He was cocky as fuck, and lazy on the pitch. Was still living off his san siro memories. Useless at that stage.
Mark Hately, only one season at Pompey but still a legend and still one of my favourite Pompey players seen in my lifetime.
Hateley and mccoist, best British striker partnership ever
🤣

Hopefully its better than the Si Ferry interview, when most of the stories briefly started and ended with "you can read about it in my book".
💯 as much as I liked big Mark at Rangers that podcast was ridiculous
not another Alan Thompson is he?
That wasn’t si ferry it was Alan Thompson
@@andrewjohnston6338 that was another bad one.
@@allnightmike8374 he means when he was on Si Ferrys pod
Im 63 and watched Marks Dad head many a goal at Coventry, we signed him from Liverpool I think. He's was the best ever header in the old first division. I also watched Mark make his debut at Coventry aged about 18 he played along side Tom English who was around same age. Mark was outstanding at rangers who I also follow.
Tell you what, great wee podcast. Not to blow my own trumpet, he wont remember, but big Hatley joined ross county for a few weeks for however long it was. His first shot he just stroked into the top corner with my finger tips not only stroking the ball but becoming numb and staved 🤣 best time of my life amd when you think at the age of 42 just now how lucky you are to face some guys like that, or train with them. By the way he scored that shot. Not many after though 😉
I loved him in the TV series Kung Fu one of my favourites as a child..
@thevoid6818 .. There are those amongst us who know m8..it was a subtle one didn't expect much response.
Charlie miller never holds his arms back, plus he did indeed head butt Stewart Kerr. Deserved red. Fun fact, I was on the bench that day for Celtic.
We're you
