Lieutenant Commander Alan Walker was a driving force in Navy hockey and a prominent coach in the south of England. He was known as ‘Mr Hockey’ in Navy circles such was his commitment to the game. In this interview, he recalls his hockey playing career in the Royal Navy and his transition to coaching and management where he really made his name, primarily within the Armed Forces but also with local Hampshire clubs and, somewhat infamously, with England U21s.
