Suen "Iron Legs" Kam Shun (simplified Chinese: 孙锦顺; traditional Chinese: 孫錦順; pinyin: Sūn Jǐnshùn; 4 July 1907 – 9 August 1995) was a Chinese former footballer who played as a forward for the China national football team during the 1920s. He also represented his nation at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.[3][4]

He earned the nickname Iron Legs due to his ability to fiercely strike the ball, reportedly ripping the goal net on more than one occasion.[1]
