Lee Young-moo

Lee Young-moo (Hangul: 이영무, born July 26, 1953) is a retired South Korean football player. He didn't have a great talent or physique, but he was the most active South Korean footballer of all time.[3] He was noted for his tremendous work rate, and an unofficial record that he moved about 20 kilometers in a match is also remaining.[3] He was situated as an attacking midfielder in the starting line up, but his actual role was difficult to sort due to his work rate which moved wide scope and took part in both the attack and the defense.[4] He is a committed Christian and always did prayer ceremonies when he scored goals. His religious belief also helped his stamina and diligence.[3] He won nine Asian titles with the national team, including the 1978 Asian Games.[5]
