At the Berlin Olympics in 1936, Dhyan Chand couldn’t play in the finals due to an injury. At half time, when India led by only 1-0 Dhyan Chand removed his shoes and entered the field bare foot. He took India to a stunning victory scoring 6 more goals. Adolf Hitler couldn’t bear the humiliation and left before the game ended. According to rumors, he later offered to elevate ‘Lance Naik’ Dhyan to the rank of a Colonel if he migrated to Germany, which Dhyan Chand refused.
