Lee Young-pyo

Lee Young-pyo is one of those left-backs whose value never showed up cleanly in stats, and that's exactly why I rate him. Martin Jol calling him the best left-back in Holland during his PSV days tells you what coaches saw: relentless pace and clean dribbling out of the back before that was fashionable. He was a fixture of that golden 2002 Korea generation that stunned the World Cup at home. What I like most is the second act, where he became one of the more honest, sharp pundits in Korean football. He reads the game like someone who actually had to think while playing it.
