Mark Wayne Hateley (born 7 November 1961) is an English retired footballer and manager 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. His nickname is "Attila".
Mark Hateley was born in Derby on 7 November 1961. His father, Tony Hateley, was also a professional footballer who played as a striker for clubs including Notts County, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Hateley started his career at Coventry City, playing over 90 games in the First Division before moving to Portsmouth in the summer of 1983. He scored 22 league goals for them in the 1983–84 season
On 28 June 1984 he was transferred to A.C. Milan for £1million. Despite his inconsistent performances, a series of injuries, and a poor goalscoring rate for the club under Nils Liedholm, he is remembered fondly by the Milan fans for a decisive and historic match-winning goal he scored in a 2–1 win against Inter in the Milan Derby on 28 October 1984, beating out former Milan defender Fulvio Collovati with a header; this was the first time Milan had beaten Inter in the Derby in six years.
He then joined AS Monaco in 1987, where he spent three years before transferring to Rangers in the summer of 1990. Manager Graeme Souness had attempted to bring him to Ibrox three years earlier from A.C. Milan. Hateley became a key part of the Rangers side, and was voted player of the year by the Scottish Football Writers in 1993–94.
