David Mansouri (born 21 October 1982) is a male former field hockey player from Scotland.
Mansouri earned his first cap for the Scotland men's national field hockey team in 2004. [1]
He played club hockey for Western Wildcats and came through the club's youth system in the late nineties and originally claimed his place in the first team as a fullback. His dedication led to his first 19 caps in 2004. [2]
He was part of the Scotland Commonwealth Games team at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. [3]
As he matured, he became a combative and highly efficient midfield player, bringing a different dimension to today's 1st team. Given his professional life as a surgeon, it is to his credit that his commitment to hockey has remained so steadfast, to the point that he was able to assume the captaincy in 2009–10. Now very much a senior player, Mansouri's role in the current 1st team remains an absolutely vital one. Mansouri retired from 1st team hockey in 2014. [4]
