Biography

[edit | edit source]

Pappin was born in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire but represented Scotland. He grew up on a farm in Moretonhampstead and was educated at Wolborough Hill School, Newton Abbot, Kelly College and the University of Exeter.[2]

His association with Scotland started when he played Highland league hockey while posted at RAF Lossiemouth.[3] By trade he was a physical education officer in the Royal Air Force.[4] He made his Great Britain debut on 15 December 1983.[5]

At the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, he represented Great Britain in he hockey tournament and won a bronze medal, although he had to play understudy to Ian Taylor, arguably the world's leading goalkeeper at the time and consequently did not get any game time.[4] He was also part of the bronze medal winning Great Britain team that competed at the 1984 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy, in Karachi, Pakistan.[6]

He signed to play club hockey for Hounslow Hockey Club in the Men's England Hockey League from 1986 and at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Pappin represented Great Britain again but was still reserve behind Ian Taylor.[7] He played in the last minute of the final and was able to collect his gold medal as a result.[4]

At retirement he had earned 37 caps for Scotland and 18 for Great Britain.[4]
