Doogie Freedman.
Re: Who is the best player to have played at The Hive?
Possibly not the very best players, but if we’re mentioning England internationals then honourable mentions are due for Jarrod Bowen, who made his senior debut at The Hive for Hereford, and for Dele Alli who played there for MK Dons in a friendly in 2013. And perhaps a dishonourable mention for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who was in the Swansea team who were no match for big John in 2017.

Sadio Mané came on after 65 minutes for Senegal vs Nigeria at The Hive on 23rd March 2017.rudebwoyben wrote: ↑15 Aug 2024, 20:35 That match was in 2016. I remember loads of fans went onto the pitch at the end of the match to try and get his autograph!
Other than that, probably someone like Ollie Watkins (boo!)

His 2 appearances for us were both before we left Underhill.
I remember after he'd signed ,his taking his seat in the Underhill Stand, never seen such an unfit footballer.

I stand corrected! Having gone to that match, I was sure it was the previous season!simmosenior wrote: ↑16 Aug 2024, 21:38Sadio Mané came on after 65 minutes for Senegal vs Nigeria at The Hive on 23rd March 2017.rudebwoyben wrote: ↑15 Aug 2024, 20:35 That match was in 2016.

there must be a host of players who've played at the hive as training with their international team or cup final team (playing at Wembley) ? Brasil, Italy etc etc ? Ronaldinho ? Buffon ? Chiellini ?

A slight curveball here: I went to the England U20 vs Mexico U20 match held at the Hive in 2015.
Any names spring out on either side? I see that Jordan Pickford was an unused sub for England!
https://www.thefa.com/news/2015/mar/25/ ... The%20Hive.
Another suggestion: Alexsandr Mitrovic or Dusan Tadic for Serbia vs Nigeria in 2018.
Also, Kwame Thomas who is likely to play for Ebbsfleet against us this afternoon and who scored for Aldershot against us last season was in that squad too!

Another vote for Luisma!
I love Luisma & really miss his skils!

Re: Who is the best player to have played at The Hive?
I too was guilty of not reading the question correctly. For the record, I was originally going for Adam Gross (who also never played at The Hive). Collins John made an immediate impact for being just plain dreadful, although that was down to lack of fitness. Gross, on the other hand, built up his his awfulness over a period of time. His mantra seemed to be: why show the man outside when you can show him inside.
