Anwar Ahmed Khan (September 24, 1933 — May 2, 2014)
When it comes to the Olympics, hockey players are the athletes behind our Olympic glory. Anwar Ahmed Khan is widely regarded as Pakistan hockey’s finest and greatest centre-half. He was an outstanding all-round player who didn’t let the opposition dominate at any time. The midfield marshal, who played for Pakistan from 1956-66, made vital contributions to the country’s early major successes. Tall and rangy, Anwar was a complete centre-half. He was an imperious pivot, never seemed to be in a hurry, utilised his immense reach to anticipate well and was a good stopper as well. Anwar was very much a part of the team that won the gold at the Rome Olympics 1960 as well the silver-winning team at the 1956 Melbourne and 1964 Tokyo Olympics. He was also a proud member of the Pakistan squad which clinched two Asian Games golds - 1958 and 1962 - during his glittering career.
