He could have reached great heights in any ball-game but chose hockey as his preference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A distinguished Kingswoodian, he shone in many sports, winning colours in hockey and soccer, while being a regular member of the 1st XI cricket team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">While still a schoolboy, he represented Kandy District HA at the National Hockey Championships. In 1959, the sports loving Carson Cumberbach &amp; Company was happy to offer employment to Iqbal where he worked for 15 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Along with internationals Chandra Schaffter, V Jeyaratnam, LP Rayen and K Sampanthan, Jumar helped Carsons to many championships in \u2018A\u2019 division tournaments conducted by the Mercantile HA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In the premier club tournaments, he represented the Burgher RC and Malay CC, and played in many a victorious team. In 1970, he was a vital member of the Malay CC team that toured South India, the first club side to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">His contribution to the Mercantile HA was remarkable, representing the association at the Senior National Championships from 1961 to 1974, captaining the winning team in 1968.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He was Chairman of the Selection Committee from 2004 to 2009, Manager Senior Nationals from 2001 to 2005 and 2008, and vice president from 2008\/09.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He captained the Over 45 side on Mercantile HAs tour of Ipoh and Penang in 2000 and was hockey manager in 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">For Ceylon\/Sri Lanka, Jumar was the automatic choice for 14 years in the vital position of right extreme, being the fastest mover on the field. It was a joy to see him sprinting down the line at full speed and with complete control of the ball, executing strategic moves resulting in many goals by him and teammates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">His international career speaks for itself: Three Asian Games playing against Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Spain, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and West Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He remembers with nostalgia, scoring the winning goals against Singapore and Indonesia and beating Japan during the \u2018Nehru Tournament\u2019 in India. As if these achievements were not enough to a boy who did not take to rugby at school, he went on to be a classy player. Joining the CR &amp; FC in the early sixties, Kavan Rambukwela spotted his inherent talent, taught and groomed him in the basics of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He represented the club \u2018A\u2019 team from 1965 to 1968 as a three quarter back and ended up as a full back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In the All India Tournament, representing the CR &amp; FC versus the Army in the semi-finals, Juamr deftly converted a 50-yard penalty to seal victory for his club and repeated it in the final against the Havelock SC with a fantastic conversion that gave the CR &amp; FC the coveted All-India Cup. On the strength of these magnificent performances, Jumar was selected for the Ceylon XV against the Combined Services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Jumar played with me for BRC, Malays, Mercantile HA and Ceylon, and we still share lasting memories and friendship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Career highlights<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>IQBAL JUMAR (born 1940)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Position: Right Extreme<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Clubs: BRC, CR &amp; FC, Malays CC, Colombo HA, Mercantile HA<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1961 vs Indian Wanderers<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1964 vs Great Britain<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1965 vs Indonesia (2 Tests)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1966 Asian Games, Bangkok<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1966 Tour of South and North India<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1967 Tour of North India (Vice Captain)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1968 vs Malaysia<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1968 vs Singapore (2 tests)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1968 Tour of Lahore, Pakistan (pre Olympic International Festival)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1968 Tour of South and North India<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1970 Asian Games, Bangkok<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1970 vs Mysore HA<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1971 Tour of South and North India and vs Malaysia in Delhi (Nehru tournament)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1972 Tour of North India (Captain) and vs West Germany in Delhi (Nehru tournament)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1973 vs Mysore HA<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1973 Tour of South and North India (vice captain)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1974 Asian Games, Teheran (vice captain)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">1974 vs Tamil Nadu (captain)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">NEXT: Stanley Fernando<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talented Iqbal Jumar chose hockey over cricket-BY DENNIS DE ROSYARO Source:Sundayobserver Iqbal Jumar was born to be a sportsman with exceptional and inherent talent.
