Former hockey Olympian Jack Britto passes away
LAHORE: Former Olympian Jack Britto, 87 years old, who represented
Pakistan hockey team in the Helsinski Olympic Games 1952, passed away in
London on Sunday (September 15, 2013). Jack was an outstanding forward,
right-half and played his hockey on the hallowed grounds of St.
Patrick’s High School which had the rare distinction of producing some
of the best-known hockey stalwarts of his time and the sub-continent.
Britto had excellent stick work and was a skilful dribbler and one of
the best ‘goal shooters’ in the game. From 1954 onwards, Britto played
for Malawi and later became coach to the Malawi hockey team. He lived
the rest of his life in England. May his soul rest in peace.
