at a very young age it was declared by the doctors that jehangir khan cannot play any sports he is too weak for it......LOL.... he became the best squash player the history of this game has ever seen .... and i really doubt if they would ever see in next 100 years a player like the great Khan
Roshan khan was the finest stroke player in the history of squash. Had it not been for the family code of letting elders win, he would have won several British Opens himself. Instead he had to hand them over to elder cousins like Hashim, Azam, etc. By Jahangir's time, such nonsense had been done away with, fortunately for Pakistan squash.
Undoubtably the greatest squash player of all time and probably the greatest ever sportsman. Jahangir was unbeaten for over 51/2 yrs playing on the squash grand prix circuit. During that time the vast majority of games were won 3-0 or 3-1. Oh, there's also a small matter of 10 consecutive British Opens to his name. The word 'unbelievable' is used far too often these days - but this guy really was the business.
he is the greatest sportsman of all times and what did the pakistanis do? they made Imran khan the sportsman of the century under whose captaincy, pakistan won only one cricket world cup.
but in hockey we have also won 4 world cups guys like hassan sardar,sohail abbas would also be up there. in cricket we have under achieved really if you think about it,
1 world cup & the finals we have reached many times we have not even made a fight of it.
jahangir khan - 550 games without defeat in one of the most demanding of sports is nothing short of amazing////as one guy said that makes him one of the greatest sportsmen ever
the times magazine said that if sporting success is taken as a critiria then jehangir khan is the greatest sportmen of all time. So I tell you, he is not one of the greatest, he is the greatest. Too bad pakistan didnt give him much promotion otherwise he would have crossed the likes of Muhammad Ali.
Younger squash-afficiandos might dispute this, but if Jehangir and Geoff Hunt had been at their respective peaks when they met (instead of Geoff beginning to decline through age), we`d have had the greatest squash rivalry of all time.
I had the honor and pleasure to meet Jehangir a few times, train with his trainer, play with his brother and his nephew and spend time with his father. What a humble person and a humble family. He remains the best sportsman ever as far as I am concerned
I've watched him live dozens of times, he was without a doubt the greatest ever! He was also a very nice guy to talk to, he kept himself to himself but he was always polite.
he has won 555 consective matches during his peak time n which is still a world record. no body could do tht in any high level professional suport........he is a Legend
jehangir khan ...what a legend ...if he hadbeen of any other nationality...he would be known and immortalized by all...sad..but he will be by those who knew and saw him play...btw the egyptians of this era will never achieve what jehangir and jansher did...its a fact and it would be naive to say so...
Jahangir Khan was not just the most accomplished squash player, he was a very nice person as well. I met him back in the early 80s and he was so down to earth. I mean here is the greatest squash player of all times and he had no airs about him.
squash is the best and most demanding sport in the world..u wont get that much sweat playing any other game than squash...I wish its a pity that this sport is not in olypics.
who is the best player in all sports i am not talkig about media or money advertisment or any other thing Muhammad ALI, PELE, Bekham or Pete Sampras. Is there any player win 550 games with out loosing any game. Yes there is just one JAHANGIR KHAN the player of millinium do u have any other example. Is any other player of world has this record? the answer is NO. We all pakistanis proud on JAHANGIR KHAN
That's correct jugnoo21. No other athlete in any sport, not just squash has ever won over 550 matches in a row and neither has any athlete ever went on unbeaten for over 5 and a half years. It's quite overwhelming what Jahangir has achieved.
Guys it's actually quite simple. I cannot understand what all this fuss is about. Jahangir Khan simply is the best squash player of all time and will be forever, if not for at least the next few decades because I certainly don't think anyone is going to beat his record of remaining unbeaten for 5 years, 7 months and 1 day & winning 550 matches consecutively, anytime soon. He was just born for it, he had the genes for the game! Being a Pakistani myself, he makes me feel pround about my country.
lol mohsap...i always knew tht egyptians dint hav ne common sense...it jst won a title now nd u sayin u r the legends..dude here v r talkin abt jahangir...not some shitty player who jst wona tournament..use ur common sense u egyptians will never even get close to us pakis in squash nd everybody knws tht...nd thnks irish..ppl r racist to us bcozz some ppl spoil the name of the whole country.nd i appreciate ur supprt :)
dont care what any body says. Can Shabana or any other top squash player win 500 matches in a row without a single defeat in a single match, like Jahangir. Huh...Shabana (Amateurs). We the Pakistani's were the legends in squash, are the legends of squash and will remain the legends of squash and no dick and harry can ever break our records and even come close to them.....egyptian are just girle kinda guys trying to play mans game like squash....
His initial squash training with his cousin Rehman Khan was primarily based in London. Which city you are talking? Lucky that you met him!!! One of my dreams of my life to do something about Pakistan Squash so that the World Champion Title go back where it belongs!!!
He dominated his era. That is what you mean. But if you had JK playing at his peak vs any of the top 10 today at their peak, he would lose. Same with all sports. The bar gets raised.
How many of the current ten peak players have a consistent performance like JK for a record of 555 unbeaten matches in a row, and ten times British Open Champion. He defeated all peak and world class opponents of his time. Because of his so-called "Domination" for such a long time and the quality he maintained, his name is in the Record's Book.
Awesome, the greatest player ever to have lived so far on the face of this earth. His domination of the game is unparalleled to date in individual sports.
He did sajda after winning. That's beautiful :)
