ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEWS
Much of the history that we store in our heads is lost as we age or pass away. Oral history is the practice of recording people’s recollections and personal stories, in their own words and voice, for the future.

Philip Kimberley began playing hockey at school and, after a rather hockey-less career in South Africa, he returned to England where he became Executive Chairman of England Hockey. In this interview, he reveals the dire financial position he inherited at the turn of the millennium and how he, and many others with him, turned the situation of both England and GB Hockey from near ruin into a successful 2012 Olympic campaign – leading to England Hockey becoming one of the leaders of international hockey administration once more.
