Canada Soccer Hall of Famer Art Hughes, a West Coast scoring legend, dies at 88
VANCOUVER — Art Hughes, a Canada Soccer Hall of Famer who was one of the country’s top goal-scorers through the 1950s and 1960s, has died. He was 88.
The Canadian Soccer Association confirmed that Hughes passed away Monday in Vancouver.
A tall centre forward, Hughes scored twice in Canada’s first-ever competitive international match in FIFA World Cup qualifying play in 1957 — a 5-1 win over the U.S. at Toronto’s Varsity Stadium.
