context_page_description: Chan Siu Ki is a Hong Kong former professional footballer who played as a striker. He is the all-time top scorer for Hong Kong with 37 goals. As he is capable of playing with either foot, he is sometimes tactically deployed as a winger on either flank.
context_section_description: Chan was spotted by the management of Tai Po when he was playing amateur soccer. At that time, he was working in a store operated by his family. He was responsible for stock delivery and eventually developed a strong physique. He played for Tai Po in the Hong Kong Third Division League. He was spotted by Rangers and joined them. However, he was almost immediately loaned and then sold to Kitchee and thus never played for Rangers.
  At Kitchee, Chan developed into a strong and pacy striker as the club employed a 4–3–3 system. As he continued to impress, he was called up to the Hong Kong team in 2005. However, he was later involved in several disciplinary incidents at Kitchee and was suspended from playing duties by the club management. At the end of 2007–08 season, he joined arch-rivals South China for $800,000 HK, breaking the former transfer fee record of $500,000, paid by South China for Chan Wai Ho.
