An outstanding full-back for India, Independent SC (Delhi). He was also a
remarkable scorer of penalties. At Melbourne, he deputised as captain in
the absense of Balbir Singh, and he scored six
goals including the decisive goal in the final against Pakistan.
In his autobiography, Balbir describes Gentle as "one who towered above the
rest with his hard and yet clean tackling".
On retiring he proved an outstanding coach and prepared national teams in
India, Malaya and Spain. He was the coach of the Uganda Olympic hockey team in 1972.
He also became an international umpire.
