Hockey was front page, back page, and top of the hour 36 years ago in 1988 when Sean Kerly, Imran Sherwani, and keeper Ian Taylor made themselves household names at the Seoul Olympics. They even inspired one of Barry Davies’ most famous commentaries: “Where, oh where, were the Germans? And frankly, who cares?” said the man from Auntie, losing all sense of objectivity as Sherwani scored to seal a 3-1 triumph and Olympic gold in style.

Great Britain’s gold medal at the 1920 Antwerp Games certainly came under strange circumstances, “arising from a misguided piece of skulduggery,” according to the museum. Only four nations competed at the Games – Denmark and Belgium the other teams – and after a series of round robin matches, the gold medal was won by virtue of a walkover to GB after France failed to take to the field for the final.

Great Britain won the gold medal and promotion to the Under-18 Women’s Division I World Championship with a thrilling 3-2 victory over hosts Latvia in Riga. Both teams went into the game with 100 per cent-winning records in the Division II Group A tournament and GB produced a stunning performance to seal top spot with a game to spare. GB won it with a quite breathtaking goal as Endicott’s cross-ice pass found Newlands who took the puck from her own zone, beat two Latvian players and fired the puck low past Selevica with under four minutes remaining (56:12).
