Craig Hignett, (born 12 January 1970 in Prescot, Merseyside), is an English former professional footballer who now works as an agent and a commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live. He started his career as a striker but later moved into midfield.
   After attending school in Huyton, Hignett started his career in the youth team at Liverpool before moving to Crewe Alexandra in 1988, making his debut on 8 October 1988 against Wrexham.
   In his first spell with Crewe he made 150 appearances and scored 57 goals, helping them to promotion from the old division four in the 1988/89 season and to the play offs in the 2001/02 season - his last season at Gresty Road - before moving to the Premiership with Middlesbrough in November 1992.
   After the club were relegated in his first season with Middlesbrough, he helped them back up two seasons later. In 1996/97 Hignett again suffered relegation with Middlesbrough and was part of the team that lost in the FA Cup final and League Cup final the same season. He had however made sure of a place in the club's history by scoring the first goal at the Riverside Stadium, their new ground, in a 2-0 win over Chelsea at the start of 1995/6 Season.
   Hignett also famously took a pay cut in order to stay at the club at one point, in stark contrast to the many big-name signings Middlesbrough were bringing in at the time.. He left the club in May 2007.
   He has recently starred in Sky TVs Premier League All Stars in which he helped Middlesbrough beat Newcastle. As of April 2008 he was part of the Academy coaching staff at Middlesbrough.
