Playing career
Hudson joined Newcastle United in 1973 at the age of 17, from local team Whickham Juniors. He made 25 appearances for Newcastle, and Newcastle and supporters affectionately referred to him as "Rocky." Hudson played for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League from 1977 to 1983, spending four years in the Football League First Division. Paul Cannell, Hudson's former teammate and who failed to land a first team spot in his book Fuckin' Hell It's Paul Cannell, said he was one of the people responsible for allowing Hudson to play his football in America. In the 1970s, Cannell had a spell on loan at the Washington Diplomats. When Cannell returned to Newcastle, Hudson, he was curious to know what life and playing football in the United States was like. Cannell said he told Hudson tales of sex, cocaine, rock and roll, and football. Hudson was by far the best player on the field in Germany in the winter season of 1983-84, with Union Solingen, who made ten appearances without scoring. Hudson played for the Strikers after transferring to Minnesota in 1984, which was the team's final year. Hudson scored 44 goals in 197 games with 99 assists, and was named to five All-NASL squads, including one as a Best XI in 1984.
He began 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. He spent one season (1990) with Tampa Bay, a cross-state rivalry, before returning to the Strikers in 1991. By this time, the team was participating in the American Professional Soccer League. He was released by the Strikers when the club was mired in a four-match scoreless streak to start the season. While playing in a NASL reunion match between the Strikers and Rowdies in 1992, he suffered his other knee.
