He spent two seasons at Crewe, making 87 league appearances and winning a Player of the Year award, before he went to Port Vale for a £15,000 fee in August 1981.
[6] Hunter was sold on to nearby Port Vale for £15,000 in August 1981, who were also struggling at the lower end of the Fourth Division under manager John McGrath.
[1] Hunter quickly became a key member of the midfield, playing 49 games in 1981–82, as the "Valiants" posted a seventh-place finish.
[1] McGrath was sacked and replaced by his assistant, John Rudge, in December, who continued to name Hunter in the first XI.
However, Rudge signed Paul Smith and Ray Walker for the 1986–87 campaign, and Hunter played just five league games.
[2] The "Robins"' form dropped during the 1989–90 campaign, and McNeil was replaced by Brian Flynn, as Wrexham finished in 21st place.
Flynn blooded young midfielders Waynne Phillips and Gareth Owen, leaving Hunter's game time more limited.
[4] After leaving the professional game, Hunter returned to Hull to work as a sales rep and financial advisor for Norwich Union.
