Raghbir lal/ Hockey
Raghbir Lal was a member of Indiarsquo;s gold winning team in the 1952 and 1956 Olympics, playing alongside the likes of Dhyan Chand and Balbir Singh. One of Indiarsquo;s best left-outs, though he never scored an international goal, he made his debut at age 18, unusual for his times. Today, he does lsquo;nothingrsquo;, he says, save enjoy his retirement from the Railways. He does catch up with hockey on TV, but has no plans of coaching. Watching Indiarsquo;s hockey standards today makes him really sad. lsquo;lsquo;Todayrsquo;s hockey is no match for the teams of our times. Indiarsquo;s team of today would not be able to stand up to even a second-rung team from our days.rsquo;rsquo;
