Career & Clubs
Hayes began his professional career as a left winger at Southampton in 1976. He scored twice on his debut in a European Cup Winners' Cup tie at home to Carrick Rangers on 3 November 1976. Shortly after turning 19-years-old, he was sent on loan to American club Los Angeles Aztecs. He played in the 1979 League Cup final but Southampton lost to Nottingham Forest. Hayes was never able to cement a regular first-team place, with players of the calibre of Kevin Keegan, Charlie George and Phil Boyer also in the Saints squad. His last appearance for Southampton came on 3 May 1980 against Middlesbrough and he was transferred to Millwall for £50,000 in February 1981, later turning out for Northampton Town and then for Barnet in the Gola League. His last club was Swedish side Friska Viljor.
He made his solitary appearance for Republic of Ireland in a 2–0 victory over Denmark at Lansdowne Road on 2 May 1979.
