Peter Hutton (born 2 March 1973 in Derry, Northern Ireland) is an Irish football coach and former player who is the former manager of Derry City. ==Career== In his youth Hutton played with Oxford United Stars F.C. when they competed in the Derry and District League. He later played with Coleraine F.C., and at the age of 15, signed for Bradford City's youth training scheme. This saw Hutton move to Bradford for a number of summer months between seasons while still under contract with Coleraine. The contract was effectively one that would have seen Hutton tied to Bradford for his entire playing career. However, he was always very keen to play for Derry City and the task of getting out of his insidious contract with Bradford City began. The threat of legal action and the resulting adverse publicity resulted in the English club relenting and when his contract with Coleraine ran out, he signed for his home-town club, Derry City, in 1991. He made his League of Ireland debut for Derry on 17 March 1991. He had trials with English clubs Tranmere Rovers and Port Vale. He played two summer tournament games for ''the Valiants'' in 1995, before returning to Derry. Hutton has also spent time at Portadown, signing for more than £40,000,〔(Healy has high hopes for new-look Derry outfit ) Noel Spillane. archives.tcm.ie. Retrieved 13 April 2008.〕 and a season at Shelbourne between his long-term spells at Derry City. He won the League Championship with the latter in 2001–02 and returned to his hometown soon after. By November 2006, Hutton had made his 300th appearance as team-captain after a 1–0 League of Ireland final-night win over Cork City in the Brandywell. As of April 2008, Hutton had represented Derry on a total of 600 occasions, holding the record for the highest number of appearances for the club ever.〔 "Pizza",〔 as he is affectionately known to fans, has also managed Derry twice as caretaker – in 2004 for a short period in the aftermath of Gavin Dykes' departure and prior to the appointment of Stephen Kenny, and in 2007 succeeding Pat Fenlon. In early December 2006, Hutton revealed his admiration for his former manager, Stephen Kenny, comparing his ability to that of Martin O'Neill's.〔(Pizza' reaches 600 mark for "Candy Stripes" ) Derry Journal Online, 10 April 2008.
