Why did mark Hughes have ' sparky' as his nickname?

Was he a qualified electrician or something?

Recall David James being called ' calamity ' and our own bobby Mimms having ' booby'

When did you first hear the name Sparky?
With a group of friends when I was seven or eight. For some reason, we decided we were going to be nicknamed after a comic. I had a mate called Beano, so I had to pick one. There was a comic called Sparky, it rhymed with Mark, so I picked that. It wasn’t because I was a frustrated electrician or anything, although I did have visions of being one.

Not at all related bit reminds me of a poor lad I remember from my Navy days.

He was a lovely bloke but genuinely the ugliest human being I've ever met.

His surname was McCann.

His nickname was 'Chip Pan', for no other reason than he looked liked he'd been in a fire.
