He made his Newcastle debut at the fabulous Nou Camp in Barcelona, and all of his Toon European matches are featured in the fabulous book "Magpies In Europe" (featured below).
Hughes admits he does not know too much about Thursday evening's Europa League opponents NSI Runavik but is not expecting to come out on the wrong end of an upset.
The Cottagers began pre-season last week in preparation for the first-round tie at Craven Cottage against the team from the Faroe Islands.
Hughes is one of a handful of players within the Fulham squad to have played a side from the Nordic country, having drawn 1-1 against their national team with Northern Ireland last October.
But despite almost coming a cropper on international duty, the defender does not expect too much pressure from Thursday night's opponents.
Aaron Hughes: "I don't know a great deal about them.
"We have not had a chance to look at them too much this week because it has more been about preparation on the football pitch and a little bit of top-up on fitness.
"I guess in the meeting before the game anything that the lads inside have found they will highlight and give us an idea before we go out.
"It is as much about focusing about what we do and making sure we do all the basic things right, which should be enough to take us through."
Fulham are 1/100 with some bookies to win the match, while the visitors are priced by some as 66/1 to spring an upset.
The odds come as no surprise seeing as NSI hail from a town of just 4,000 inhabitants and are made up of part-time players, including a teacher and trainee telephone salesman.

FOREWORD BY FAIRS CUP HERO JOHN McNAMEE
Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me.
"I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'!
"Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down.
"Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff.
"I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
