Gurbux remembers skipper Charanjit
Former India captain and National coach Gurbux Singh remembers his 1964 Olympics gold-winning India hockey team captain Charanjit Singh as a very down-to-earth person and a compact player.
“I am very sad to hear of Charanjit Singh’s demise. He was a soft-spoken, down-to-earth and well-educated man. He was a compact centre-half. I started playing under him in 1961 on the New Zealand tour.
“The 1962 international tournament at Ahmedabad, where almost the whole world except Pakistan played, and the Lyon (Olympics qualifying) tournament in 1963 were some of the important events we played together before the 1964 Olympics,” Gurbux told The Hindu on Thursday. We played against each other when he represented Punjab at the National level,” he said.
