Trevor Vanderputt is a household name in Calcutta Anglo-Indian circles - a coach's coach, teacher of future champions, Bengal State Team Selector, and Director of Coaching, ACT Hockey Association, Canberra, Australia. Judge for yourself from the list of Australian greats featured in this book Mike Nobbs; Don Smart; Terry Walsh; Bob Andrew; Merv Adams; Syd Johnson; Richard Charlesworth; Dick Aggiss. And that is only half of Trevor's remarkable legacy! For before Australia, there was India - unparalleled Olympic custodian of hockey glory. Dhyan Chand, Leslie Claudius, Joe Gallibardy, Dick Carr, Balbir and Gurbux are some of the hockey legends of the sub-continent to figure in this book. HOCKEY'S ODYSSEY is biography, autobiography and chronicle. In the end, it isn't only about hockey. It's about life and sportsmanship in two hockey-loving nations - India and Australia. Trevor Vanderputt has always loved hockey. His contribution at many levels of hockey will probably never be fully appreciated, except for those who knew. I am fortunate enough to be one of them. I am sure his book will raise a lot of interest, be full of great memories and as usual with Trevor, just sprinkled with a small amount of controversy. Richard Aggiss, AM Australian Coach '81-88, AIS Head Coach '84-94. Had only every hockey enthusiast like Vanderputt put together their lifetime experience, the hockey world would have had plenty of useful literature. But not many have done that. Vanderputt deserves cornucopia of encomiums for just doing the same. I repeat it is a humble hockey lover's lifetime story, told in a humbler way. K. Arumugam, Recognised Chronicler of Indian Hockey.
