BALBIR WISH TO SEE HIS LOST MEMORABILIA UNFULFILLED

New Delhi, May 25: For the last eight years he left no stones unturned to regain his lost memorabilia, which he had donated way back in 1985 to the Sports Authority of India, but hockey legend Balbir Singh Sr’s last wish to see his treasure remained unfulfilled.

In August, 2015, it was reported about his missing memorabilia, which included an Olympic blazer, medals and rare pictures. It was donated to SAI for a proposed museum which never saw the light of day.

Singh had said then that in 1985, he had donated his medals and memorabilia to the then SAI Secretary on being told that they would be displayed in a show window at the then proposed National Sports Museum.
