Hmm

Hudson has contacted the FA and has sensationally accused them of failing to support him in a struggle against permanent injuries suffered by a hit-and-run driver in 1997.

How were they supposed to support him? This happened more than ten years after his career ended.

Quote
Hudson was awarded two caps by Don Revie following a three-year England suspension handed down by Sir Alf Ramsey, who punished him for failing to answer an under-23 international call-up.

I don't know the circumstances, but maybe that was a bit harsh. Anyway, from Wikipedia:

Quote
injuries and clashes with Revie meant that those two caps were the only ones he earned. He was called up as a late replacement by Ron Greenwood in 1978 for a match against Brazil. Hudson refused to join up as he was not in the original squad.

The picture I am building up from the article you posted and Wikipedia is that he was a bit entitled. I don't say he brought most of his woes upon himself but the brevity of his England career seems to be mostly his own fault.
