Hashim Khan, Jahangir Khan, and Jansher Khan are the best squash players the world has ever known, with Jahangir the best of the three. If Hollywood only knew his story of tragedy, grit and determination it would make another movie like Chariots of Fire. Many of those who know him consider him the best athlete who ever lived. ”
— Former president of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf on Jahangir's achievements
in his book 'In the line of Fire'.

Jahangir Khan lost to Ross Norman in 1986, ending the longest unbeaten streak in professional sport history; 5 and a half years. He won 555 consecutive matches. I can tell you that people had become so used to Jahangir Khan winning that it was a rude shock to see that he was actually a human being and not invincible.
