Atsuhiko Mori

Mori was born in Hyogo Prefecture on May 31, 1972. After graduating from high school, he joined All Nippon Airways (later renamed to Yokohama Flügels) in 1991. Upon the clubs election to the J League as founding members in 1993, Mori was the club's regular goalkeeper and became recognisable and popular for his dreadlocked hair among the club's supporters, who nicknamed him "Reggae-kun".[1] He kept 5 clean sheets in the inaugural J League season as the Flügels finished 6th, reached the semi-finals of the J League Cup, and won the 1993 Emperor's Cup, as well as the 1994–95 Asian Cup Winners' Cup, with his performances eventually leading to talks of a national team call-up, however, Mori's career ground to a halt on August 12, 1995 after an incident during a 6-0 loss to Urawa Red Diamonds. Dissatisfied with the referee, Mori intentionally barged his shoulder against the official and was subsequently sent off and handed a three month suspension, during which rookie goalkeeper Seigo Narazaki took his place in goal and eventually became the favoured #1 for the Flügels.

Mori briefly returned to the side during the 1996-97 season, but never regained his regular starting position and was transferred to Japan Football League club Consadole Sapporo in April 1997. Mori was unable to overtake Dido Havenaar as the club's first choice and played just 5 times, before retiring upon the end of the season at the age of 25.
