Hassan Sardar

In his prime, he was compared with the inimitacle Dhyan Chand. And indeed there can be no higher praise, for Dyan Chand was to hockey what Don Bradman was to cricket .That such a flattering comparison was universally acknowledged as being an apt one,especially by the purist Indian connoisseurs, is a befitting tribute to Hassan Sardar's scintillating artistry and genius.
Hailed as the most accomplished player of his age, Hassan's stint as pakistan's spearhead was rather brief, lasting a mere half a dozen years. It nevertheless remains pakistan's most flamboy ant and memorable era, with one success following another .And Hassan had a big hand in all those triumphs; he was the Man of the Toutnament at the gold winning campaigns in the '82 world cup, the '84 Olympics and the '82 Asiad.
