Alan Forsyth named in Danny Kerry’s first GB men’s squad

Scotland internationalist Alan Forsyth has been named in new Great Britain men’s Head Coach Danny Kerry’s squad for his first match in charge.

Great Britain will take on Belgium in the Anniversary International in partnership with Toshiba TVs.

The fixture at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre on 3 October will celebrate the 30-year anniversary of Great Britain’s famous Olympic Gold medal victory at the Seoul 1988 games.

A number of legends from the 1988 team will be in attendance for a night of nostalgia as their success is remembered and celebrated.

On naming his squad, Kerry said: “It’s great to recognise the 1988 team’s success in this fixture. For the current GB squad we will be using it to look at developing our play, our combinations and our understanding of the playing group looking to both the World Cup and the FIH Pro League starting in January.

“Belgium are an excellent team with excellent players and there will no doubt be plenty of exciting hockey on show.”

This fixture will provide a key part of the squad’s preparations before Great Britain embark on their FIH Pro League campaign.
