Here are all but one of his goals during his time with the Sky Blues
Was described by Gordon Strachan 'one day he's a world beater the next a panel beater.

he must hold the record off sides in a season.

Gordon Strachen also said that he was a scorer of great goals not a great gaol scorer. He never said anything so true.

Yep, Whelan. That day was one of the happiest of my life. The last 3 mins on Thursday brought about similar feelings. Hopefully there wont be another 15 year gap between the next time.

For those who haven't take out time to watch this video - a true entertainer if ever there was one.

*scored with both feet
*significant number of goals from outside box
*plenty of mazy runs before scoring

Hucks was a nightmare to mark could go inside and out with very few tap in goals and what contributed to his one on one goals was the quality and accuracy of balls from midfield either to feet or over the top.

Whilst at CCFC (1996-1999) scored 28 goals in 94 league games equiv now to scoring 14 in a 46 game season - fond memories Hucks

Amazed me why we never re signed him I remember playing Norwich who were top of the championship they beat us 2-0 after 2 bits of magic from Hucks.They won the league that season what a player he was,good down to earth lad also,would still tear this league apart now.

My favourite Cov player of all time, brilliant vid, thanks.

I have always loved beating Forest, and that hat trick was something else.

I don't think we will see another Darren Huckerby for a long long time totally Un-Playable.
