Derek's nomination story

Derek played in the 1952 Olympic Games where Great Britain won a bronze medal. At that time there were only 11 medals given out and so both he and one of the other squad members missed out on receiving a medal. In partnership with the BOA, GB Hockey was able to put this right in 2010 and had a medal made from the original cast to present to Derek.
