Biography

Wu Qunli was born in the Baiyun District within Guangzhou and would join second tier football club Guangzhou FC within the 1983 league season. He would soon see his club win promotion to the top tier at the end of the 1984 league season, via the Chinese FA Cup.^[1] The following season would see him called up to the Chinese national team for the first time where he would become a regular before playing with the senior team in the 1988 Summer Olympics. By the 1990 league season Guangzhou FC were in the second tier, however Wu made sure this was short lived and aided the club to a runners-up position and promotion back up to the top tier, this wouldn't go unnoticed and he personally won the Chinese footballer of the year award.^[2] By now Wu had become a vital member for his club and country and go on to lead China into the 1992 AFC Asian Cup where they came third.^[3]

With another Chinese footballer of the year award won at the end of the 1993 league season Wu would leave Guangzhou FC and join Hong Kong First Division League side South China in 1994. He would immediately make an impression within the team when he won the Hong Kong Viceroy Cup at the end of the 1993–94 league season. He would then be given the nickname of "Golden Left Foot" for he saved the team many times by scoring some great goals using his left foot. A Hong Kong Senior Shield and Hong Kong FA Cup at the end of the 1995-96 league season followed despite Wu missing six mouths out after an injury sustained on March 9, 1996. With Wu winning the Hong Kong First Division League title at the end of the 1996–97 league season Wu would soon move to Golden and then Tung Po before he retired.
