Raghbir lal/ Hockey

Raghbir Lal was a member of India’s gold winning team in the 1952 and 1956 Olympics, playing alongside the likes of Dhyan Chand and Balbir Singh. One of India’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 ‘nothing’, he says, save enjoy his retirement from the Railways. He does catch up with hockey on TV, but has no plans of coaching. Watching India’s hockey standards today makes him really sad. ‘‘Today’s hockey is no match for the teams of our times. India’s team of today would not be able to stand up to even a second-rung team from our days.’’
