Kim Joo-sung

Kim Joo-sung (born January 17, 1966) is a former South Korean football player. Kim is regarded as one of the greatest Asian footballers of the 20th century. He was nominated for IFFHS Asia's Player of the Century, finishing second place.[3] He was nicknamed the "Wild Horse" due to his pace and long mane of curly hair, for which he was also nicknamed the "Samson" due to his long hair style.[4] Normally deployed as a winger, he was capable of playing as an attacking midfielder, and played as a sweeper after the knee injury. He played for the clubs Chosun University and Daewoo Royals, both in South Korea, and later in the German Bundesliga for VfL Bochum.

Playing career

Kim played for South Korea for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, but South Korea was eliminated in the group stage. He was also selected for the national team for the 1986 Asian Games, and won a gold medal in the tournament. Joining Daewoo Royals in 1987, he won the 1987 K League with his team, and was named Young Player of the Year.[5]

Kim participated in the 1988 AFC Asian Cup, and led South Korea to the final. They lost against Saudi Arabia at the penalty shoot-out of the final, but he was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.[6] He also led team's title in the Asia group of the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification, and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament,[7] but he showed poor performance in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, and couldn't prevent three losses of the team.[8] He redeemed his failure in the World Cup by winning the 1990 Dynasty Cup, an East Asian competition, after the World Cup.[9] He was elected the Asian Footballer of the Year for three consecutive years from 1989 to 1991.[10]

In June 1992, Kim was loaned to a Bundesliga club VfL Bochum. Bochum was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga after the 1992–93 season, but they returned to the Bundesliga just one year after their relegation by winning the 1993–94 2. Bundesliga. However, he came back to Daewoo according to the failure to extend a contract with Bochum.[11] He changed his playing position to a sweeper after the 1994 FIFA World Cup because the condition of his knee was exacerbated.[12] Daewoo won the 1997 K League with his successful change, and he was named the K League Most Valuable Player.[13] He announced his retirement in 1999, and his uniform number 16 was also retired by Daewoo.[14]

In September 2003 he attended a sports management masters course at De Montfort University, Leicester until February 2004 when his studies took him to Switzerland.
