Prithipal Singh
}}
Prithipal Singh (28 January 1932 – 20 May 1983) was an Indian field hockey player nicknamed the ''“King of short corner”'' by hockey commentators.〔 He participated in the Olympic field hockey three times and each time he scored the highest number of goals as a single player. Singh was a player with sharp reflexes, and the tremendous strength in his long and powerful arms produced firmest and sticking shots which unfailingly fetched him goals and often the winners.〔Gandhi, S.S. (2001) "India's Highest Sports Awards and Those Who Won Them", ''Defence Review''.〕 The Evening Post, New Zealand commented in 1961 that to face the fury of Prithipal's hit is to risk one's life. Another author commented that if Arjuna was the ''Maharathi'' of the Mahabharata war, Prithipal was the ''Maharathi'' of the International Hockey game. The first-ever Arjuna Award to a hockey player was conferred upon him in 1961, which was later followed by the Padma Shri in 1967.〔 Singh won Olympic medals in Rome (1960 silver), Tokyo (1964 gold) and Mexico (1968 bronze).〔
==Early life and education==
Singh was born on 28 January 1932 in the city of Nankana Sahib (now in Pakistan).〔Website: Sportal, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Hockey, Prithipal Singh.〕 His father Sardar Wadhawa Singh Chandi was a school teacher as well as an agriculturist. Prithipal spent his childhood in the land of Nanak and took his early education at Nankanaa Sahib. After partition, the family had to move to East Punjab and Prithipal ''completed his M.Sc degree (in agriculture) in 1956 from Agriculture College Ludhiana''.〔 Prithipal Singh was to teach there later when the College amalgamated into the newly created Punjab Agricultural University.〔 Singh also excelled in his studies and won merit scholarships for academic excellence. From 1950 to 1956, Prithipal represented Agricultural College Ludhiana Hockey team and was awarded “Roll of Honors” for his all-round achievements in sports and education.
