Graham Dadds

Graham Bassett Dadds (16 March 1911 – 8 March 1980) was a British field hockey player who competed in the 1952 Summer Olympics.

Biography Dadds played club hockey for Swansea Nomads and between 1932 and 1955 played for Wales 36 times, which was a record at the time.

He played for Glamorgan at county level but in 1946 had a break from hockey due to health reasons before returning to the Welsh side several years later. He subsequently represented Great Britain in the field hockey tournament at the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki. He played in the bronze medal match against Pakistan replacing Derek Day who had started every match up to that point. Dadds was 42-years-old at the time.

Dadds retired from playing in 1956 and later served as the president of the Welsh Hockey Association.
