LAHORE: Pakistan`s former goalkeeper Qamar Riazul Haq breathed his last in Lahore on Thursday afternoon after a prolonged illness.
He made two tours with the Pakistan hockey team in 1965, to Indonesia and East Africa.
His display in the test matches against Kenya, a strong side of the time, was outstanding and many predicated a long international career for him. Unfortunately, towards the end of the tour he picked up an injury which ended his career.
His younger brother Qamar Zia, also a goalkeeper, played for Pakistan from 1975-81 and won gold at 1978 World Cup, bronze at 1976 Olympics, and gold 1978 Asian games.
