Stephen ("Steve") James Batchelor (born 22 June 1961 in Beare Green, Surrey) is a former field hockey player, who was a member of the golden winning British squad at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. Four years earlier, at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, he captured the bronze medal with his team.
In 1980, shortly after leaving Millfield School, Batchelor made his international début for England as a 19-year-old. He went on to play 48 times for England winning silver medals in the 1986 World cup and the 1987 European Cup. Batchelor, who played for Southgate, represented Great Britain 66 times. At the Seoul Olympics, he either started or came on as a substitute in all seven matches but despite his reputation as a striker he failed to score in the tournament.
In 1988 he set up Sean Kerly in the final against West-Germany. Batchelor played international hockey for twelve years. He ended his career after the 1992 Summer Olympics. He is currently teaching at Cranleigh School, and coaches the U14 boys hockey team as well as the first tennis team. He was recently appointed Deputy Head of Loveday House as well as Head of Administrations. He currently lives with his four children and wife in the Surrey School.
