Teun de Noojier

45-year-old Teun de Noojier is one of the greatest players of the modern era and can be considered something of a crossover, a modern player who has achieved mainstream success. He’s got two Olympic golds to his name, from 1996 and 2000, as well as a brace of silvers from 2004 and 2012.

Sohail Abbas

Although Abbas doesn’t have the gold medals stacked up like Noojier; he appeared in a medal match for Pakistan in 2000, but they lost to Australia. That was the last time they appeared in the medal stages, but that shouldn’t diminish the brilliance of the flick king, Abbas.

Dhyan Chand

Chand is widely regarded as the finest player of all time, and rightly so. In 1928, 1932 and 1936, he won three consecutive Olympic medals and scored more than 1,000 career goals. During the Berlin Olympics of 1936, German papers wrote that ‘the Olympic complex now has a magic show too’, such was his amazing ability with a stick.
