"Once while playing a hockey game Major dhyan chand was not able to strike ball into the goal post of the opposition's team. After several misses he argued with the match referee regarding the measurement of the goal post and amazingly it was found incorrect!" "In Holland, the authorities broke his hockey stick to check if there was a magnet inside." "Residents of Vienna, Austria honoured him by setting up a statue of him with four hands and four sticks, depicting his control and mastery over the ball." "On one occasion, a lady from the audience asked Dhyan Chand to play with her walking stick instead. He scored goals even with them! " & finally "He developed liver cancer, and was sent to a general ward at the AIIMS, New Delhi. He died on the 3rd of December 1979 penniless and uncared for in a hospital, receiving a meagre pension.. " Be Kool  | ||

Dhyan chand gurinchi eemadhya vinadam ekkuvayindi. Tharachi chusthe ee link dorikindi.. Now I am keen to see his play videos. But saddened to learn his olden days. Can we imagine Sachin or Vishy that way?! Obviously media has more power and lot to do in these kind of contexts. http://www.mudraa.com/trading/45590/1/dhyan-chand-a-biograph ical-sketch-js.html Be Kool |
