   Preferred position: Unknown

   Member of over 30 years and still enjoying the wonderful game we all play. Best thing about Hampton is the lasting friendships that are built.
   Proudest moment to lead the Vets team in the final of the Vets Plate, shame it wasn't victorious but a memorable occasion only.
   Despite every effort still being picked for the 3's so cannot be that bad a player.

   Started playing at a very early age, I started at a club in north Wales called Monsanto. While I was there I went on to play for North Wales U14s through to U21s and Wales U15s through to U21s. I then moved to Coventry to go to uni where I played for Coventry and North Warwickshire and Warwickshire U21s and seniors where I won the county championships and came runner up twice. I then went and played national league for Bournville where I was averaging 21 goals a season. After a couple of years my knees stopped me playing and since then I have had several operations on my legs to get it sorted and I am now here at Hampton where I feel at home.

    Clive Forsythe

    Preferred position: Unknown

    Only got into hockey becuase I couldn't play football at Senior School.... Enjoyed some early years success with caps for England schoolboys at U16 & U18 level making the national press and a photo and article on the back page of the Coventry Evening Telegraph (nice) and played a handful of times for the U21s... Discovered wine women and song and it was downhill from there... Couple of seasons at C&NW in their National League days, but like so many who wander, Hampton is my hockey home. Stopped playing for about 6 years when Jack was born, Vets rejuvenated me and have enjoyed our recent cup runs and the Divisional tournaments and being part of the winning Midlands over 40s side in 2009... Still attempting to be the exception that proves the rule that 'you can't teach old dogs new tricks' and the mind at least remains very willing.... The sense of community that exists at Hampton is like nothing else I have ever experienced, we are very lucky.....
