Arthur "Art" Hughes (born 1 October 1930) is a former Canadian soccer player. He was a two-time national champion with Canadian clubs Vancouver Hale-Co FC (1956) and Vancouver Firefighters FC (1965). He was also Canada's starting centre forward during FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in 1957.[1] He is an honoured member of the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame.
In the Pacific Coast League, Hughes won seven championships with three different teams from 1954-55 to 1965-66. He won six titles with Firefighters (1954-55, 1961-62, 1963-64, 1964-65, 1965-66), one with Hale-Co FC (1958), and one with Westminster Royals FC (1959). He was a British Columbia or Mainland All-Star in 11 seasons from 1951 to 1965. Along with winning two Dominion titles, he won three runner-up medals with Vancouver St. Andrews (1951), Westminster (1959), and Firefighters (1961).
After playing youth soccer for Marpoles, he joined New Westminster Royals FC and scored two goals in his Pacific Coast League debut as a teenager on September 17, 1950.[2] He split that rookie season between the Royals and Vancouver St. Andrews FC, leading the league with 15 goals scored.
Hughes also played in the Mainland Soccer League and won the 1960-61 championship with Firefighters FC. He retired at the end of the season at age 30[3], but was convinced to return to Firefighters late in the 1961-62 season who were by then back in the Pacific Coast League and en route to winning another championship[4]. He remained active through to the 1966-67 season and retired as the Pacific Coast League's all-time scoring leader with 158 goals (two more than Fred Whittaker).
Hughes played and scored in three editions of the Pacific Coast International Championship, twice with the Vancouver Firefighters FC (1962, 1965) and once with the Pacific Coast League all-stars (1964). Hughes and the Firefighters won the 1962 J.F. Kennedy Trophy.[5]
Along with 1950-51, Hughes also led the league in goalscoring in 1956, 1957, and 1959.[6] He was the first-ever winner of the Austin Delany Memorial Trophy as the league's most valuable player in 1959.[7] After representing Canada in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in 1957, he captained Canada's side during a 1960 tour of the Soviet Union and Britain.
