In September 2000, Abdul Waheed was interviewed and asked to compare Pakistan hockey in contemporary times and when they had won the 1960 Olympic gold. He said:

"When we won Olympic gold in hockey in 1960 we did not get anything in return. We would walk for miles to reach grounds and it was passion not lust that ruled our hearts."

He died in Karachi on 21 February 2022, at the age of 85.^[2]
