Classic foto of HK soccer greats






Dear all,


Remember these faces? Guys who are in love with soccer and have been in HK for seven years.. they must know these two legends. On the right, it is mister LEE KIN WO, the best wingers of our age. His legendary status was solidified with the news that shocked the football world. In a friendly match between HK and Macau, our legendary no.11 never before get booked for two yellow before in a match, got a straight red from the Macaunese referee. To no suprises, he confronted the ref, sweared at him and was asking to settle it outside the court. The ref, feeling no respect from the no.11 from the process, decided to do it the macau way and ran straight into the player and delivered a right hand hook that even Ali the great would be proud of. This was captured on TV prompting FIFA to ban the Ref from touching football (hez not allowed even to go to soccer stadiums all over the world) for life. Mr. Lee got away with a year ban. This piece of news was broadcasted even in SBS during my time in Australia.


On the left, it is Aui Wa Leung. Prolific goal scorer who capped for HK many times and was in the top of the FIFA strikers accruacy ranking for almost a year (forget which year but anyway ) because of his only shot (which means one shot) only goal (one goal and then got sidelined for the year) 100% accuracy record. Calmness in front of goal and reading in front of goal is another two attributes that makes him a legend because there were numerous situation that when he has his back against the goal with only the keeper to beat and he was "so" calm and his reading "so" accurate and deadly that he decided NOT to take the open goal and instead swiftly one touch pass it back out to the midfields.
