David Mansouri

David Mansouri (born 21 October 1982 in Glasgow) is a male field hockey player from Scotland, who earned his first cap for the Men's National Team in 2004. [1] He plays club hockey for Western Wildcats. Dave Mansouri came through the club’s youth system in the late nineties and originally claimed his place in the first team as a full back. His dedication led to his first of 19 caps in 2004, and culminated in selection for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

As he has matured, he has developed into a combative and highly efficient midfield player bringing a different dimension to today’s 1st team.

Given his professional life as a surgeon, it is to his credit that his commitment to hockey has remained so steadfast, to the point that he was able to assume the captaincy in 2009-10. Now very much a senior player, Mansouri’s role in the current 1st team remains an absolutely vital one. Mansouri retired from 1st team hockey in 2014 [2]
