There was a Syed Ali in the 1964 Indian hockey team, but he apparently died in 2010. I don't understand. Good catch. Ali Saeed has been claiming to have been an Olympic hockey champion for over a decade, and is interviewed as such here. Claims to have been the first Muslim to play for the Indian national team, and also says he played on the left-wing. However, the official Olympic records show India's left-winger in the 1964 final was Darshan Singh. A fantasist in the shape of when people used to claim they were ex-child stars and their lies were only discovered after death? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
