In the line-ups
14 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1994–2002The archive holds 14 team sheets naming Fernando Hierro in Spain's starting line-up, from 1994-07-02 to 2002-06-22.
14 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
The archive also records 1 own goal under this name (1999) — own goals never count in a scorer's tally.
