Park Kyung-hoon (Korean: 박경훈; born 19 January 1961) is a South Korean football manager and former player. Park played for the South Korea national team in 1986 and 1990 FIFA World Cup. He also won the 1986 Asian Games with the national team.

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]
