Early life

edit

Kim decided to be a baseball player in Daegu High School, but his baseball team was disbanded while he attended the school. He changed his career path late to football, and spent his youth career in Seonggwang High School and Konkuk University.[2]

Playing career

edit

Kim joined Korea Housing Bank after graduating from university. In 1972, his team won four national titles, and he was selected for the South Korea national team for the first time.

Kim was picked as a member of the national team for the 1974 FIFA World Cup qualification. He scored against Thailand and Hong Kong, helping South Korea reach the final round. In the two-legged final against Australia, he scored a goal again, but South Korea had to play third game after the aggregate score was tied. They eventually lost the rematch 1–0, failing to qualify for the World Cup.[3][4][5]

Style of play

edit

Kim played as a target man by utilising his height, jumping skills and positional sense. He also had the confidence to find the spot where the ball would fall.
