Stoke-on-Trent olympian Imrani Sherwani dies aged 63
The hockey hero had been battling Alzheimer's
Imran Sherwani, who starred in the Great Britain hockey team that won Olympic gold in 1988, has died at the age of 63, his family have announced.
Sherwani revealed in 2021 that had he been diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's in 2019, and his family continue to raise awareness of the condition.
The Stoke-on-Trent hero represented Great Britain and England 94 times, culminating in scoring two goals in his team's 3-1 final victory over West Germany in Seoul.
Sherwani's second goal that effectively clinched the contest sparked a famous reaction from BBC commentator Barry Davies, who asked: "Where were the Germans? But frankly, who cares!"
