Barry Hughes (31 December 1937 – 2 June 2019) was a Welsh professional football player and manager, active primarily in the Netherlands.

While managing Haarlem in 1978, Hughes signed young player Ruud Gullit to his first ever professional football contract.

[10][11] Hughes released a 7" music single in 1978 called "Voetbal is Koning" (Football is king).

The song is called "Ik wil op mijn kop een kamerbreed tapijt" ("I want on my head a wall to wall carpet"), a carnival song referencing his baldness.
