Childhood

Growing up in Sunderland, Hazard began playing football with his friends and later joining his local school team. During one of these matches, he was spotted by a scout from London based club Tottenham Hotspur F.C. but was too young to be offered a trial.[1]

He was initially invited to train with Spurs when aged 14 and continued to have week long sessions with the club until, aged 16, he moved to London to join the youth squad as an apprentice. Liable to bouts of homesickness, Hazard ran home six times during the next two years until finally settling at the club.[1]

Playing career

Hazard signed a professional contract with Spurs and made his League debut in a 3-0 victory versus Everton F.C. on 19 April 1980 aged 20.

He was a member of the team that won the 1982 F A Cup and UEFA Cup in 1984, where his crosses of the ball led to goals in both legs of the final against R.S.C. Anderlecht.[2]

Hazard was transferred to Chelsea F.C. in 1985 and would remain at that club for the next five years. He moved to Portsmouth F.C. in January 1990 before moving once more to Swindon Town F.C. in September.

Bought by Osvaldo Ardiles from Portsmouth for £130,000, Hazard became an influential player in Swindon's play-off winning season of 1992-93 under Glenn Hoddle which saw them promoted to the FA Premier League. He was sold back to Tottenham in November 1993 for £50,000, where he would stay until his retirement on 23 April 1995.

Post-retirement

He played in the Celebrity Soccer Six charity tournament in 2001 as a member of Damon Albarn's team and was eliminated in the Quarter-finals by Rod Stewart's "Vagabonds".[3]

It was reported in 2006 that he was a taxi-driver[4] and also Youth Academy Coach at Crystal Palace.[5]

He has said of his role at Crystal Palace - "I got my trophies and a whole sackful of terrific memories and now I've moved on helping the kids, and I love it. Playing was great but I still get the biggest buzz from seeing my lads do the best they can."[1]

In July 2009, Hazard signed for Sevenoaks and District Football League team Dunton Green, adding "You never lose that buzz to want to play the game of football.".[6]

In 2011 it was announced that Micky would be assisting Chigwell Athletic in an advisory role alongside director of football Ben Richman
