My Hockey Career
| Sometime after the 1982 Mumbai World
Cup, the IHF on its own announced my retirement! I am a unique player to
have known of my retirement through the pages of a newspaper. I was made chief coach of the Indian men's team in July 1998. My team reached the semi-final in the Commonwealth Games, and won the gold in the Asian Games. In all, India won 10 of 13 matches under me. Then, after barely 5 months of coaching, I was 'rested'. |
