Sayed Muhammad Yusuf (abbr. S M Yusuf), later known as Shahzada Muhammad Yusuf[1] (1896 – 9 December 1978) was a field hockey player who represented two countries namely India and Afghanistan in international hockey. In the 1928 Summer Olympics held at Amsterdam, he had participated as S M Yusuf.
Entries at Olympedia
Yusuf has the following three entries at the website Olympedia:
19319 Sayed Yusuf
701504 Mohammad Yusuf
5000749 Sardar Mohammed Yusuf Khan
However, entry Sayed Yusuf is controversial because, according to official report of the 1928 Olympics, the Olympian had participated in those Olympics as S M Yusuf. His name Syed Yusuf appears to have been entered by Olympedia due to some other consideration such as from the Guinness Book of World Records. The valid reference can only be that of the official report of the 1928 Summer Olympics.Template:Fact
