David Mansouri (born 21 October 1982 in Glasgow) is a male field hockey player from Scotland who earned his first cap for the Men's National Team in 2004.[1] He plays club hockey for Western Wildcats. Dave Mansouri 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 and culminated in his selection for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
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.[2]
