Mohammed Shahid (born 14 April 1960) is a former field hockey player from India. A dashing forward with the ability to weave past any defence with his amazing dribbling skills. He was a member of the Indian team that won the gold medal at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow and was captain of India during 1985-86. Apart from being known as the worlds best dribbler, Shahid was essentially an inside-left whose speedy runs in tandem with left-out Zafar Iqbal made a mockery of most defences. Born at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, he first played for India in the Junior World Cup in France in 1979. He was awarded Arjuna Award in 1980-8181 and Padma Shri in 1986.[1]
