Yes it would be great to see the great hopoate's son pull on a maroon & white strip one day in the future apart from BK we lack forward strength. As hoppa played like a forward.
What happened to his brother Albert? His missionary duties be up by now, he was a gun wing/centre/goal kicker.
I spoke to Max at the beginning of the season and he was really pushing seeing a Hoppa junior playing in the maroon & white. Trust me, he said it with a huge amount of conviction and if he has a say then it will happen.
Well my wish has come thru, he has got more football ability than his father and is one smart, level headed young man.
