Please watch leo pinto video
Leo Pinto fearless goalkeeper of 1948 Indian Olympics hockey team – gold Medalist. Leo Pinto let in only two goals in five matches and played big part in Indian winning Gold medal. Leo Pinto has so much energy at the age of 92 that if Hockey matches are held for age group of 90 years and plus , India will win with him in goal .Tribute to Living legend by Alka Mehta, Dudley D’souza and chander , on rainy day on First July 2007 in Leo Pinto’s residence at Bandra Mumbai
