Islahuddin Siddique — The hockey icon who led Pakistan to three titles in 1978

Pakistan hockey great Islahuddin Siddiqui has lived an eventful and colourful life for more than five decades now. Siddique, born on 10 January, 1948, is an iconic sports figure of the country. A right winger, Siddique played between 1967 and 1978. He was capped 130 times and scored 117 goals. He won silver medal in the 1972 Olympics and bronze medal in the 1976 Olympics. Undefined Siddique is perhaps the only forward in history to gain more fame for saving goals than scoring goals despite being the world’s best forward of his times. Siddique is considered the fastest man in field hockey, who used to blunt the penalty corner strikes of his strong rivals with his deadly dash that burst from the cage like lightening.
