The Second HMS Manchester Association

Spike HUGHES

09/06 - present

No doubt inspired by tales of daring do by Global 86 vets, Spike Hughes joined the mob in 1987 as a baby tiff. Keen to join the Mighty Manch at the earliest opportunity Drafty immediatly dispatched him on a somewhat curcuitous route via Glasgow, Bangor, Liverpool, Andromeda and Noah;s flagship before he arrived onboard in September 06 and where he is currently the 909 maintainer and Chief's Mess Social Secretary - the coach load of nurses being scheduled to arrive early next week!! By his own admission he is also Mess Counterpane hurdling champion and holds a gold medal for egyptian gymnastics. His leisure pursuits - and being a tiff there is plenty of time for leisure - include being manager of the ship's cricket team, however a draft to Lords is highly unlikely as even a draw would be a cause for wild celebrations. Talking of wild celebrations, Spike is also a season ticket holder at Pompey F.C. Joined 9th July 2008.
