Lee Kin Wo (Chinese: 李健和; Jyutping: lei5 gin6 wo4, born 20 October 1967 in Hong Kong) is one of the most famous footballers in Hong Kong and played as right winger. He is currently an assistant coach with Hong Kong Premier League club Eastern.
Lee won the Hong Kong Footballer of the Year award three times during his career. His long hair is also a trademark for football fans.
Club career
Lee Kin Wo made his debut in Hong Kong First Division League on 13 October 1985 when he was 18 years old. He is most memorable for participating the friendly match South China Athletic Association (Lee is loaned from Eastern for that match, along with Dale Tempest) versus São Paulo, the Brazilian team with national representatives Cafu, Leonardo Araújo and Zetti at that time. Finally South China won the match by 4–2 and Lee scored the fourth goal of his team.
In May 2000, during an international friendly hosted by Macau, Lee kicked the football toward the upper body of the Macau referee Choi Kuok-kun, after several unfair decisions were being awarded in favour of the home side.[1][2] Hong Kong eventually won the match by 1-0 and Choi was banned from officiating for life.
Coaching career
He was appointed to be the head coach of Hong Kong national football team on 22 May 2007.[3] The first match he led was a friendly match played away against Indonesia national football team. Hong Kong lost by 0–3 in the match.
Personal life
He resides with his family on Peng Chau island. His eldest son Lee Ka Wah currently plays for Metro Gallery.
