In the last game of the 1920-21 season on May 7th against Stockport County, Hugh played for Leicester City at Old Trafford behind closed doors (due to Stockport's Edgeley Park ground being closed by the Football Association). This game is officially classed as the record lowest crowd for a football league game. The official crowd was 13, although it is reported that there were actually around 2000 people in the ground at that time.
