Bruce Alexander Turner (5 August 1930 – 30 March 2010) was a New Zealand field hockey player and cricketer.[1]
He represented New Zealand in field hockey between 1950 and 1962, including at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne and the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome.[2][3][4] He represented Manawatu in hockey, and in 1976, when New Zealand won the Olympic gold medal, he was one of the national selectors.[5]
He played 15 first-class cricket matches as an opening batsman for Central Districts between 1952 and 1956.[6] He also represented Manawatu in the Hawke Cup from 1952 to 1968.
In 1956, Turner married netballer Thelma Trask, who represented New Zealand in 1948, and the couple had three children.[7] Bruce Turner died on 30 March 2010.[5]
