84-year-old veteran hockey player George Black, Stepps, Glasgow, Scotland - 10 Oct 2010

84-Year-Old Goalie Granddad Sticks With Hockey
George Black was 20 years old and celebrating the end of World War II when he first started playing hockey.
Now he's a sprightly 84 year-old who has defied the aches and pains of old age by continuing to turn out in goal for Stepps Hockey Club in Glasgow, Scotland.
And grandfather George, who must be one of Scotland's oldest team sportsmen, has no thoughts about quitting the game that he has loved for a lifetime.
When he's asked if he can think of anything that might call a halt to his hockey career, George chuckles: "Somebody might not pick me!

George was a Bevin Boy, one of the young men recruited in wartime to work at the nation's coal mines, when he first grabbed a hockey stick.
"During the war I worked at the Devon Colliery in Clackmannan and I played hockey because it was the done thing in the village of Stepps.
"If you didn't play football, which was less popular then here in the village, you joined your pals at hockey".
He reveals that it was almost by accident that he became a goalie - using skill and raw courage to stop balls that were smashed in on goal at 70 mph.
"At first I played outside left but for the next game they needed a goalie and I was willing to try.
"So I was given the keeper's pads and told that first of all I needed to learn how to walk while wearing them, the...

84-Year-Old Goalie Granddad Sticks With Hockey
George Black was 20 years old and celebrating the end of World War II when he first started playing hockey.

"If you didn't play football, which was less popular then here in the village, you joined your pals at hockey".
He reveals that it was almost by accident that he became a goalie - using skill and raw courage to stop balls that were smashed in on goal at 70 mph.
"At first I played outside left but for the next game they needed a goalie and I was willing to try.
"So I was given the keeper's pads and told that first of all I needed to learn how to walk while wearing them, the...
