Mark Wayne Hateley (born 7 November 1961 in Wallasey, Merseyside[1]) is a retired English football player who played as a centre-forward. He was capped 32 times for the English national team (including games in the 1986 World Cup), and played in top-level football leagues in England, Italy, France and Scotland.

[edit] Playing career
Hateley started his career at Coventry City, before moving to Portsmouth, where a successful 1983-84 season resulted in a high profile transfer to A.C. Milan.[2] That year he also helped England win the 1984 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, scoring six goals in the knockout stages. He then played for AS Monaco before transferring to Rangers in 1990.
Arguably he enjoyed his best days at Rangers, where he scored both goals in a title-clinching 2-0 victory against Aberdeen on the final day of the 1990-91 season. He was also the first non-Scottish player to win the Scottish Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award.
He left Rangers in 1995, with family problems suspected to be the catalyst for his move to Queen's Park Rangers for £1.5million - a large fee for a 34-year-old.[citation needed] He was unable to stop QPR from suffering relegation from the Premier League in 1995-96. He also had a short loan spell at Leeds United during this period.
However, in 1997, with Rangers trying to win their ninth title in a row, and with a huge injury list, manager Walter Smith desperately needed a striker, and re-signed Hateley for the vital game against Rangers' biggest rivals, Celtic. Rangers won the game 1-0, but Hateley was sent off. However, most commentators thought that the mere presence of Hateley had given Rangers a psychological advantage and that it was a signing that had paid off. Rangers eventually won the league, with the game versus Celtic seen as the unofficial clincher.
Following his departure from Rangers for a second time he played for Hull City, before ending his playing career with a couple of appearances for Ross County.
[edit] Later life
Hateley now does commentary work on Scottish Premier League matches for Setanta Sports.
His father, Tony, was also an English striker who played for many clubs including Notts County, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Hateley's son Tom, born 12.9.89 in Monaco, is currently in the Reading youth team[3]
Hateley managed Hull between 1997 and 1999, but left after two unproductive seasons which saw them struggling near the foot of the Football League and overshadowed by the constant fear of extinction.
Hateley also works part time for Rangers FC matchday hospitality.
