He played hockey from his childhood from Pakistan Gymkhana a hockey club the attractive yellow shirt and white short was his love Akhtat ali khan managed the team and also coached it. Islauudin, Iftikar Syed ( PERVAIZ) were the other two who also became world famous hockey players from the same club at PIB COLONY KARACHI FAMOUS full back ASGHAR ALI KHAN ELDER BROTHER OF AKHTAR ALI KHAN COACHED MUNOO. ALL OF THEM SPOTTED THE TALENT IN HIM AND TRAINED HIM. THE OTHER OLYMPION WHO HELPED HIM WERE HABIB UR REHMAN CONSIDER AS THE FATHER OF HOCKEY AN EXCELLENT PLAYER EQUALLY FAMOUS AS DYHAN CHAND OF INDIA.
