Stanley Shoveller (September 2, 1881 — February 24, 1959) is a former field hockey player, who won a gold medal with the England team at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London. Eight years later, when Antwerp hosted the 1920 Summer Olympics, he once again captured the gold medal with the Great Britain and Ireland squad, at age 39. The Englishman is considered to be the first Olympic hero in field hockey. Known as the prince of centre forwards, he dominated England's convincing gold medal strolls.
