Biography

Kerly was born in Whitstable and was educated at Chatham House Grammar School in Ramsgate.[1] He has played club hockey for Canterbury, Southgate and Herne Bay.[2] In 1981, he made his England senior international debut.[1]

At the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, he helped Great Britain secure the bronze medal. Kerly scored the winning goal in the bronze medal match in LA against Australia (3-2). The success is attributed as having revived interest in hockey in Britain. Two years later, at the 1986 Men's Hockey World Cup, Britain won the silver medal on home ground in London, with Kerly scoring four goals in the tournament.[1][3][4][5]

After scoring a hat-trick against Pakistan in the 1987 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy and eight goals in one game during the 1987 European Club Cup he entered the 1988 Olympics as a well known name in Britain.[1] In 1988, he was a member of the gold medal winning Great Britain and Northern Ireland squad at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. He scored a hat-trick in the semi-final against Australia before Britain defeated West Germany 3-1 in the final, with Kerly scoring once and Imran Sherwani twice.[1]

Since retirement, he has also been involved in commentary for international hockey coverage on national television.[6][7]
