Pakistan hockey legend and former national team captain Shahbaz Ahmed Senior has decided to enter politics and is planning to contest the next general elections from his hometown of Faisalabad.
According to reports, the former hockey star is expected to formally announce his political plans soon.
Shahbaz is widely regarded as one of the greatest forwards in hockey history. Known for his exceptional speed, body dodges, dribbling skills, and agility, he earned the nicknames “Maradona of Hockey” and “Man with the Electric Heel.”
The legendary forward scored 92 goals during his international career and captained Pakistan to its last Hockey World Cup title in 1994.
He also became the first player to be named Player of the Tournament at two consecutive Hockey World Cups, winning the award in 1990 and 1994.
