Club career

Born in the slum of Seoul, (Suyu-dong) Park had liked art originally, but he changed his career path to be a footballer due to his financial problem when becoming a high school student.[1] He spent his professional career in POSCO Atoms, and won three titles in the K League. In the 1988 season, he was named the Most Valuable Player, but he thought that his teammate Lee Kee-keun should deserve the award. He wanted to return it, but the K League Federation rejected his decision.

In 1993, Park announced his retirement and left for England to study abroad. He also played for an English semi-professional club Yeading for a time, and became the first South Korean player to appear in the English FA Cup.[2][3]

In 2013, K League Federation selected him as the right back of the 30th Anniversary Best XI.[4]

Style of play

Park is regarded as one of the greatest South Korean right backs of all time.[4][5] Nicknamed the "Progenitor of Overlapping" in South Korea, he was the first South Korean full-back to actively take part in attack.[1]
