Seoul Glow tells the story of the Great Britain men's hockey team
who won gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Little to the team's
knowledge, the final caught the British public's imagination as
they beat rivals West Germany in the gold-medal match. After Sean
Kerly's semi-final heroics and Imran Sherwani's double in the
final, BBC commentator Barry Davies uttered the now infamous line:
'Where were the Germans? But, frankly, who cares?' Victory, for a
team of amateurs, who had either quit their jobs or taken holiday
to play in Seoul, propelled the team to celebratory heights on
their return to British shores; it was GB's first hockey gold in
the post-war era and followed an eight-year plan for a major title.
The story also reveals how the team was inspirationally led by the
late Roger Self, the manager who gelled his players into Olympic
title holders.
