(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4PAOK[edit]In 1999, Nu\u00f1ez joined Greek club PAOK.Sunderland[edit]In March 2000, Nu\u00f1ez signed for Premier League side Sunderland. The transfer fee paid to former club Nacional was reported as \u00a31.6 million plus a possible further \u00a31 million in bonuses.[4]One theory surrounding his signing is that Peter Reid, who was the manager when N\u00fa\u00f1ez was brought to the Stadium of Light, thought that he had signed N\u00fa\u00f1ez’s strike partner at PAOK, Adolfo Valencia, and not N\u00fa\u00f1ez himself. N\u00fa\u00f1ez himself claimed in an interview that Sunderland had thought that Valencia and Nunez’s international team-mate Eduardo Bennett, both of whom were a similar height and build, were the same player, and had watched both of them play for PAOK and Honduras respectively assuming they had seen the same player twice. In the confusion, they had ended up signing N\u00fa\u00f1ez by mistake, with the diminutive forward being the only Honduran player at PAOK.[5] Sunderland later went to court over the transfer as Nunez was owned by Uruguayan third tier team Uruguay Montevideo at the time of his move to Wearside, although he never played for them.[6][7] Nunez stayed in England for two years before returning to Nacional, after playing just once for Sunderland against Wimbledon in the league[8] and Luton Town in the League Cup.[9] He later played for Pachuca and Necaxa.Back in Honduras[edit]N\u00fa\u00f1ez returned to his native Honduras in 2004 and he signed for Olimpia in summer 2007[10] and in June 2008 he rejoined Marath\u00f3n[11] before moving abroad again.Guatemala[edit]In 2009, N\u00fa\u00f1ez crossed the border to play for Guatemalan side Jalapa[12] and then joined USAC for the 2010 Clausura championship, along with Selvin Motta and former national team goalkeeper Paulo C\u00e9sar Motta.[13] In June 2010, he rejoined Comunicaciones[14] before joining Universidad SC the following year.In February 2013, a historic fine was imposed on a Guatemalan football club after fans of Heredia racially abused USAC’s black striker N\u00fa\u00f1ez.[15]N\u00fa\u00f1ez left USAC in 2017 before joining third tier team Deportivo Ayutla in September 2018.[16]Victoria[edit]In June 2019, Nunez signed a contract with Victoria, where he would play alongside his son, also named Milton.[17]International career[edit]Tyson made his debut for Honduras in a May 1994 Miami Cup match against El Salvador and has earned a total of 86 caps, scoring 33 goals, making him third on Honduras’ national team’s all-time goalscorers list.He has represented his country in 24 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[18] and played at the 1995,[19]1997,[20]1999,[21]2001,[22]2003[23] and 2005 UNCAF Nations Cups[24] as well as at the 1996,[25]2000[26] and 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cups.[27]His final international was an October 2008 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Jamaica.Personal life[edit]Nu\u00f1ez received the nickname Tyson due to his resemblance to former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson.[28]Career statistics[edit]Club[edit]Sources:[1]This section is empty.
