# Lee Young-moo

Lee Young-moo (Korean: 이영무, born July 26, 1953) is a retired South Korean football player.

## Style of play

Lee didn't have a great talent or physique, but he was the most active South Korean footballer of all time. He was designated as an attacking midfielder in the starting line up, but his actual role was difficult to sort due to his tremendous work rate. He moved wide scope and took part in both the attack and the defense. According to the introduction of the Korea Football Association, he left behind an unofficial record that he moved about 20 kilometers in a match, though it needs more convincing evidence.

## Personal life

Lee is a committed Christian. He always did prayer ceremonies when he scored goals. His religious belief also helped his stamina and diligence.
