Datta New Delhi: An aircrash after the 1960 Rome Olympics tragi- cally ended the lives of two world-class hockey umpires, both Indians — B.K.‘Biru’ Ghosh and Harbail Singh. A third Indi- an providentially survived because he was not on the same aircraft. Gian Singh, who had also umpired in the previous Olympic Games at Melbourne, went on to serve the game for over four long decades till he died in Delhi on Sunday night at the ripe old age of 94. When Gian Singh, then a handsome railwayman, got mar- ried to Narinder Kaur, he told the bride that he was already married: to hockey. Prematurely retiring from the Railways in the 1960s, by when he was well past the stipulated age for umpires, he took to coaching and also authored about 15 books on the game. Some of them were later translated into foreign languages while at least one was prescribed as a text book for university students studying sport. A great admirer of Dhyan Chand, whom he had studied at close quarters in his long years as an umpire, Gian Singh was of the view that, more than his wizardry with stick and ball, he was an unselfish team man and an even greater passer of the ball with an unerring eye for creating openings. As the game underwent changes with the advent of artifi- cial turf pitches and frequent changes in the rules, Gian Singh kept pace. He did not subscribe to the opinion that the rule changes were a European conspiracy to end India or Asia’s style of hockey. In fact, in several long discussions I Dhanraj Pillay and Baljit Dhillon warm up on the opening day was privileged to have had with the grand old man of hockey, of the hockey camp in Lucknow on Monday.
