Stephen Kenneth Hunt (born 4 August 1956) is a former England international footballer.

A winger, he began his career in 1975 as he ended it in 1988, winning promotion out of the Second Division with Aston Villa. In between these spells with Villa he spent most of his career in the First Division, attempting to keep Coventry City and West Bromwich Albion in the top-flight. He spent six years with Coventry, playing 185 league games as they successfully evaded the drop. He also spent three summers in the United States with the New York Cosmos, winning three Soccer Bowl titles (1977, 1978 and 1982), and was the MVP in Pelé's last game as a professional. In total, he scored 78 goals in 392 games in the Football League and North American Soccer League. He later went into coaching and managed Willenhall Town, VS Rugby and Cowes Sports

Playing career

Club career

Aston Villa

Born in the Witton area of Birmingham, Hunt began his professional career with hometown club Aston Villa in 1973.[4] Vic Crowe's "Villans" finished 14th in the Second Division in 1973–74, before securing promotion with a second-place finish in 1974–75 under the stewardship of Ron Saunders. Villa finished 16th in the First Division in 1975–76 and then fourth in 1976–77. Hunt scored one goal in seven league games at Villa Park.

New York Cosmos

Hunt enjoyed a spell in the North American Soccer League with the New York Cosmos in 1977 and 1978; the club doubled his Villa wages to £250-a-week.[5][6] The Cosmos won Soccer Bowl '77 with a 2–1 win over the Seattle Sounders at the Civic Stadium. Hunt scored the opener and also provided an assist to Giorgio Chinaglia, and was named the game's MVP in what was Pelé's last game as a professional.[6] Hunt also played for the Cosmos in their 3–1 Soccer Bowl '78 victory over the Tampa Bay Rowdies at the Giants Stadium, providing an assist for Dennis Tueart for the opening goal.

{{Quote|"Playing for New York Cosmos was like travelling in a rock and roll band. There were always celebrities in the dressing room after games. I've always been into my music and Mick Jagger came in after one particular game."|Hunt enjoyed his time in America.[7]}}

Coventry City

He then returned to the English Football League with Gordon Milne's Coventry City, who finished tenth in the First Division in 1978–79. The "Sky Blues" then posted 15th and 16th-place finishes in 1979–80 and 1980–81. New boss Dave Sexton then took them to 14th place in 1981–82. Hunt returned to the New York Cosmos in 1982, and went on to win a third Soccer Bowl title with a 1–0 win over the Seattle Sounders in Soccer Bowl '82 at the San Diego Stadium. Back with Coventry, he helped the club to finish one place and one point above the relegation zone in 1982–83. Bobby Gould then took the club to one place and two points above the drop zone in 1983–84. Hunt scored 27 goals in 185 league games in his six years at Highfield Road.

West Brom & return to Villa

Hunt moved on to league rivals West Bromwich Albion, who finished 12th in 1984–85 under Johnny Giles's stewardship, before suffering relegation with a last place finish in 1985–86 after Ron Saunders failed to turn around the bad start made by new boss Nobby Stiles. He scored 15 goals in 68 league games during his spell at The Hawthorns, and was voted the club's Player of the Year in 1986. He then returned to the Villa, who were themselves relegated in 1986–87 under the stewardship of first Graham Turner and then Billy McNeill. New manager Graham Taylor led Villa to bounce back with promotion in second place in 1987–88, though Hunt had by then retired due to a knee injury.[7]

International career

Hunt made two international appearances for England, playing in a 1–1 draw with Scotland at Hampden Park on 26 May 1984 and then playing in a 2–0 defeat to the Soviet Union at Wembley seven days later.[8] Manager Bobby Robson also took him on the tour of South America later that summer, though he remained on the bench.[7]

Coaching career

After retirement he became player-manager of Southern League side Willenhall Town, and in July 1989 became the youth team coach at Port Vale.[9] He later took up the same post at Leicester City in June 1991.[9] He later moved to the Isle of Wight and had a role with A.F.C. Bournemouth's Community Sports Trust.[7] He spent part of 1996 as co-manager at VS Rugby, alongside David Jones.[7] On 22 April 2017, he was appointed as manager at Wessex League club Cowes Sports.[10] He led the "Yachtsmen" to a 19th-place finish at the end of the 2017–18 season, one place above the Premier Division's relegation zone.[11] He resigned as manager on 21 August 2018, just four games into the 2018–19 season, citing a wish to take a break from the game.[12]
