Balbir Singh Sr

Remembering The 3 Times Olympic Gold Medalist And Great Hockey Player Balbir Singh? Take A Look

Balbir Singh Sr was a legend in Indian hockey and is widely regarded as one of the best center-forwards in the game's history. His craft provided tremendous delight to the country and helped it build its own identity in the years following independence. He was the indisputable lynchpin of the Indian hockey team's second hat-trick of Olympic golds — in 1948, 1952, and 1956. Balbir Singh was born in Punjab to Karam Kaur and Dalip Singh Dosanjh, a freedom fighter, and spent much of his childhood without his father, who traveled extensively and was frequently imprisoned.  | Click Here...
