Gallians in National Sport
The Sports Roll of Honour recognises Old Gallians who have represented Pakistan or achieved distinction in sport at the national and international level. It is a testament to the quality of sporting development at Lawrence College and the athletic potential that the college's environment and coaching have unlocked in generations of Gallians.
Cricket
One of Pakistan cricket's greatest wicket-keeper batsmen, Imtiaz Ahmed represented Pakistan in Test and One-Day cricket, making him one of Lawrence College's most celebrated sporting alumni. A legend of early Pakistani cricket.
Military Service & Gallantry
Lawrence College has supplied an extraordinary number of commissioned officers to Pakistan's armed forces across all three services. Many have risen to senior rank — General officers, Air Marshals and Admirals — and several have been decorated for gallantry in the line of duty.
Athletics & Field
Lawrence College athletes have consistently performed at the highest levels of school sport in Pakistan, with several Old Gallians going on to represent Punjab province and Pakistan in athletics disciplines at national and regional games.
Shooting
The college's shooting tradition has produced marksmen who have achieved distinction in national competitions. The on-campus shooting range has been the training ground for many Gallians who have gone on to excel in this sport professionally and militarily.

The Honour of Representing Lawrence College
Beyond the national and international honours, the Roll of Honour also recognises those Gallians who have served their college, their house and their contemporaries with distinction — head boys, house captains, sporting captains who led their teams with honour and inspired those around them.
The greatest honour a Gallian can receive is not a national cap, but the respect of his peers and the knowledge that he gave his best in the service of his house and his college. That spirit of service — exemplified by the founder's motto "Never Give In" — is what the Roll of Honour ultimately celebrates.
