Thomas Alexander Hughes[2] (born 11 July 1947)[3] is a Scottish former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
However, he was always understudy to Peter Bonetti whilst with the west London side, meaning he made just 11 appearances in four years.
Hughes played three games for Brighton, whose manager Pat Saward was keen to sign him as permanently.
Brighton could not match the asking price, and Hughes was transferred to Hereford United in August 1973 for £15,000.
[2] He spent nine seasons with Hereford United, and was a part of the side which won the Third Division championship in 1975–76.
