He was also part of the hockey Team that won the world cup in 1978 and 1982.

The Olympian was admitted to Shalimar Hospital in Lahore where he died. A Pakistani punjab government official told PTI, "Hospital management did not give the bodies of the legendary player due to non -payment of outstanding bill for several hours. Later the pakistan hockey Federation noticed the matter and paid attention to the matter and paid 5 lakh Pakistani rupees.


He said that it is a matter of great embarrassment for everyone that a veteran Olympian died and his body was stopped by the hospital for not paying outstanding amount. prime minister Shahbaz Sharif posted that he was deeply saddened by his death. He said, "Gold medalist Manzoor Hussain junior was a heritage for the country and his services for pakistan hockey have been memorable."
