Vivian Lockett

Vivian Noverre Lockett (18 July 1880 to 30 May 1962) was a colonel in the British Army and a ten-goal handicap polo player. He won an Olympic gold medal for the United Kingdom at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, where the British team of Lockett, Teignmouth Melville, Frederick W. Barrett and John Wodehouse, 3rd Earl of Kimberley defeated Spain in the final. He played in five International Polo Cup matches between 1913 and 1921, and the 1914 victory was England's last in that cup until 1997. He attended Wellington, Trinity College, Cambridge and Sandhurst, joined the Royal Field Artillery and then the 17th Lancers, and in 1927 succeeded his fellow Olympian Tim Melville as its commanding officer.
