Former custodian & coach Khalid Modi no more

The hockey fraternity on Wednesday woke up to the tragic news of the passing of the multifaceted Khalid Modi. The former goalkeeper, 61, breathed his last following a brief illness on Wednesday. One of the finest goalkeepers to have guarded the goal for Karnataka, the genial Modi was a junior India player and turned out for the state for over two decades at the sub-junior, junior and senior levels.
