Cian James Hughton (born 25 January 1989) is a footballer who is a free agent after being released from Birmingham City in July 2012. A defender, he began his career with Tottenham Hotspur and played in the Football League for Lincoln City. He played international football for the Republic of Ireland under-21 team.
He joined Tottenham Hotspur's academy in 2005, and went on to make 15 youth team appearances that season. Established, he played a further 27 games the following season, scoring once and stepping into the reserve set-up, where he appeared on a total of 21 occasions over two seasons.
On 27 July 2009 Hughton signed a six-month contract with Football League Two club Lincoln City. He made his first-team debut in the 1–0 victory over Barnet on 8 August.
He was given a new 18-month contract following the conclusion of his initial deal, but found first team opportunities hard to come by after Chris Sutton left the club and Steve Tilson took over. In May 2011 he was not offered a new contract after a mass clear out of players following the club's relegation from the Football League.
He pushed me 'round now I'm drawin’ the line
He lived his life now I'm gonna go and live mine
I'm sick of wastin’ my time
Well now I've been good for way too long.
Found my red dress now I'm gonna throw it on
'Bout to get too far gone
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of my twelve-ounce nutrition
One more helpin' of what I been havin'
I'm takin’ my turn on the sin wagon
On a mission to make something happen
Feel like Delilah lookin' for Samson
Do a little mattress dancin'
That's right I said mattress dancin'
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of what I been missin’
I don't know where I'll be crashin’
But I'm arrivin’ on a sin wagon
When it's my turn to march up to glory
I'm gonna have one hell of a story
That's if He forgives me
Oh Lord please forgive me
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of that sweet salvation
They may take me with my feet draggin’
