Michael Crowe has an enviable Hockey Career. (born 14.8.42) His fascinating story sees him emerge as somebody, who demonstrates an aptitude and determination to succeed in representing his Country, despite many setbacks and challenges. His extraordinary story depicts his path from a schoolboy with a passion for Hockey and a determination to succeed in representing England at the Olympic Games in Munich. His story encapsulates how he was accepted to participate in the Mexico Olympics, but sadly due to health problems was dropped from the squad, but his sheer determination ensued him a place in Munich just two years later in 1972. His courage shone through as the terrorist problems dominated.
His story continues through his Hockey career as he becomes a County coach and is eventually substituted by his own son!
Now a retired Suffolk Olympian, Michael practices as an Artist and continues to live in Suffolk.
It is hoped that the stories depicted over the coming months will inspire today’s youngsters to take part in sport and possibly succeed in competitions in the future.
