==Career==
Mohammed Shahid was born on 14 April 1960 in [[Varanasi]], [[Uttar Pradesh]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/hockey/top-stories/Indian-hockey-wizard-Mohammed-Shahid-dies-aged-56/articleshow/53296836.cms |title=Indian hockey wizard Mohammed Shahid dies aged 56 – Times of India |access-date=2016-07-20}}</ref> He made his first appearance for India in the junior team in 1979 at the [[Hockey Junior World Cup|Junior World Cup]] in France. Shahid made his first senior team appearance the same year in a four-nation tournament in [[Kuala Lumpur]] under the captaincy of [[Vasudevan Baskaran]], after his inclusion in the team following his impressive performance in the Aga Khan Cup.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/hockey/mohammed-shahid-the-legend-of-dribble-2925154/ |title=Mohammed Shahid: The legend of dribble is no more |last= |first= |date=2016-07-20 |website=Indian Express |publisher= |access-date=2016-07-21}}</ref>

During his playing days, Shahid was known for his running ability, dribbling of the ball<ref name=":2" /> and push which was as fast as a hard hit.<ref>{{cite news |title=Remembering and honouring the golden greats who made India proud |url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/hockey/remembering-and-honouring-the-golden-greats-who-made-india-proud/article3566448.ece |newspaper=The Hindu |date=22 August 2012 |accessdate=31 August 2013}}</ref> His attacking partnership on the field with [[Zafar Iqbal (field hockey)|Zafar Iqbal]] was well known.<ref>{{cite news |title=Mohammed Shahid: The genius of dribble |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/tournaments/top-stories/Mohammed-Shahid-The-genius-of-dribble/articleshow/5623032.cms |newspaper=The Times of India |date=27 February 2010 |accessdate=31 August 2013}}</ref><blockquote>"Zafar at left-out and Shahid at right-in positions penetrated the best of the defences around the world with their superb understanding and passing of the ball. Zafar also pointed that Shahid was instrumental in the V. Baskaran-led India winning the gold medal at the 1980 Olympic Games. “Shahid played a crucial role for India in that Olympics, otherwise we would have been difficulty,” Zafar, who was part of that team, pointed."<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>He was awarded the 'Best Forward player' at the [[1980 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy|1980 Champions Trophy]] in Karachi.<ref name=":1" /> He was a member of the team that won the gold at the [[1980 Summer Olympics]] in Moscow, silver at the [[1982 Asian Games]] and bronze at the [[1986 Asian Games]]. He also played in the World Cup in Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1981–82, the [[1984 Summer Olympics|Los Angeles Olympic Games]] in 1984 and the Seoul Games in 1988.<ref name=":1" />

His skill and ability at the 1986 Seoul Asian Games earned him a place in the Asian All-Star team in 1986.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.asian-women-magazine.com/pakistan/hockey/mohammad-shahid-an-indian-hockey-star.php |title=Mohammad Shahid – an Indian Hockey Star |publisher=asianwomenmagazine |accessdate=31 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819133846/http://www.asian-women-magazine.com/pakistan/hockey/mohammad-shahid-an-indian-hockey-star.php |archivedate=19 August 2014 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> He captained the Indian team during 1985–86.<ref name="India 2016">{{cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/07/20/8-facts-about-mohammed-shahids-glorious-hockey-career/ |title=8 Things You Need To Know About Mohammed Shahid's Glorious Hockey Career |date=2016-07-20 |website=Huffington Post India |author=India |accessdate=2016-07-20}}</ref> He announced his retirement from international hockey in January 1989.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Philar|first1=Anand|title=Shahid — one of a kind|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19890107&printsec=frontpage|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The Indian Express|date=7 January 1989}}</ref>

His biggest contribution to the game of field hockey was the 'half push- half hit'- a stroke he used to hit the ball using the same grip used to dribble the ball. With the left hand on top of the handle and the right half low down around the centre of the stick he used to essay this shot with a minimum back lift and slam the ball towards his partner-teammate to make an early and accurate pass. The same stroke was adapted by his successor [[Dhanraj Pillay]], who was an ardent fan of the maestro.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/hockey/top-stories/Mohammed-Shahids-death-a-great-loss-for-Indian-hockey-Sreejesh-Dhanraj/articleshow/53299885.cms |title=Mohammed Shahid's death 'a great loss' for Indian hockey: Sreejesh, Dhanraj – Times of India |access-date=2016-07-21}}</ref>

Shahid was the product of the Sports College Lucknow from where emerged a few other stars of the 1980s like [[Ravinder Pal Singh]], his teammate at the Moscow Olympics (1980), [[Rajinder Singh Rawat]] who played in goal in the Los Angeles Olympics (1984) and many others who went on to don the national colours at the junior and senior international level. The Sports College and Hostels were the brainchild of another famous star of the 1950s [[Kunwar Digvijay Singh]] "Babu".{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}

Later, he became a sports officer with the Indian Railways in Varanasi.<ref name=today>{{cite magazine |title=Lost and found: Thirty newsmakers from the pages of Indian history and where they are now: Cover Story |magazine=India Today |url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/thirty-newsmakers-from-the-pages-of-indian-history/1/181091.html |date=July 3, 2006 |accessdate=2013-12-16}}</ref>
