Sarah English

Sarah English (born 1955) is a former field hockey player from Zimbabwe who was a member of the national team that won the gold medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. She was known as the premier hockey goalkeeper in Zimbabwe, and Olympedia lists her in all five of the team's matches. The women's tournament was reduced by the Western boycott of the Games, so that only the host Soviet team and a handful of late invitees took part, and Zimbabwe hastily assembled a squad within weeks of the start. To the surprise of many it won the tournament, which gave the country its only medal of the 1980 Games. Her birth date is given as 28 November by Wikipedia and 27 November by Olympedia.
