Have any other Hamlet players even been to the Olympics, either during or after their stint at the Club? Feels like this could be fairly unique...?

I'm fairly certain Les Brown was in the Great Britain squad in 1960 while still a Hamlet player, but didn't get onto the field.

Hunter Devine played twice in Rome in 1960 whilst at Queen's Park. He played for the Hamlet several years later after his employer (I think he worked for Scottish Widows) posted him to London.

Another one to add to the list that arguably qualifies; Haydn Hill. Goalkeeper in our 1937 FA Amateur Cup final. He played for GB in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. He was playing for Yorkshire Amateurs at the time of selection, but joined us a few months after.

good article here on the hamlet historian blog: Haydn Hill
