1970

Cannell had spell on loan at the Washington Diplomats in the 1970s.

When Cannell came back to Newcastle, Hudson, was keen to know what life and playing football was like in the US.

Cannell claimed he gave Hudson tales of sex, drugs, rock and roll and football.

1973

He started playing professionally at 17, in 1973, with Newcastle United.

Fans nicknamed him Rocky and he stayed with the Football League First Division side for four years before moving to the U.S. and playing with various teams for about 15 years.

When he finished his playing career, he started coaching.

Hudson signed with Newcastle United in 1973 at the age of 17, from local team Whickham Juniors.

He made 25 appearances for Newcastle and fans there nicknamed him "Rocky".

1977

After four years in the Football League First Division, Hudson moved to the United States, playing for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League from 1977 to 1983.

His former teammate at Newcastle, Paul Cannell, who like Hudson had struggled to get a first team place, in his book Fuckin' Hell It's Paul Cannell, claimed he was one of the people responsible for getting Hudson to play his football in America.

1983

In the next season Cannell played against Fort Lauderdale Strikers, a team full of world class players, and he explained Hudson was by far the best player on the pitch... Hudson played the winter season of 1983–84 in Germany with Union Solingen, making 10 appearances without scoring.

1984

Hudson also played for the Strikers following their move to Minnesota in 1984, which proved to be the league's final year.

Over the course of his eight years in NASL, Hudson scored 44 goals in 197 matches with 99 assists, and was named to five All-NASL squads, including once as a Best XI in 1984.

He followed this with a season playing for Edmonton Brick Men before joining the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the American Soccer League.

After a knee injury sidelined him, the Strikers released him.

1990

He spent one season (1990) playing for cross-state rivals Tampa Bay before returning to the Strikers in 1991.

By this time the team was playing in the American Professional Soccer League.

He was released by the Strikers when the club was mired in a four-match scoreless streak to begin the season.

1992

In 1992, he injured his other knee while playing in an NASL reunion match between NASL-era Strikers and Rowdies.

2000

2001

He led the club to the best regular season record in Major League Soccer (the MLS Supporters' Shield) in 2001 with 16 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses.

However, the club was defeated by the San Jose Earthquakes in the semifinal round of the playoffs.

Hudson quickly became known for his fiery personality.

One memorable incident occurred after a Miami home win against the Tampa Bay Mutiny.

The Fusion scored five goals, usually considered an excellent performance, but Hudson was apparently unsatisfied.

He stormed into the media tent and up to the podium.

He said, "I've got nothing to say. Any questions? ANY QUESTIONS? No? OK!"

and stormed right back out.

Interviews with players after the game indicated that Hudson was angered by a perceived lack of effort, even with the Fusion's dominant win.

He continued to regale fans and journalists with his wit, stories, and quotes.

He said, "There's a lot of talent on this team, and I'm talking Anna Nicole Smith type of talent!"

upon taking control of the team in 2002.

D.C. United finished at the bottom of the table in the East in 2002 with a record of 9–5–14, and were ousted in the first round by Chicago Fire by a 4–0 aggregate score in the two-game series in 2003.

"Someone get me a blindfold and a cigarette!"

2004
