Kim Young-kwang

Kim Young-kwang is a South Korean goalkeeper, now retired, born in 1983 in Goheung, whose club career spanned 21 years with Chunnam Dragons, Ulsan Hyundai, Seoul E-Land and Seongnam FC. Goalkeepers always intrigue me; at 183 cm he had the frame for the role, and longevity in that position demands nerve most outfield players never test. Coming from a small county in South Jeolla and reaching the professional level is its own quiet achievement. He was also in South Korea's squads for the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2006 World Cup.
