Lee Kin Wo (Chinese: 李健和; Jyutping: lei5 gin6 wo4; born 20 October 1967) is a former Hong Kong professional footballer who played as a winger.
Lee won the Hong Kong Footballer of the Year award three times during his career. He holds an AFC "A" License.[1]
Club career[edit]
Lee made his debut in Hong Kong First Division on 13 October 1985 when he was only 17 years old. He is most memorable for participating in the friendly match for South China (Lee was 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.
Lee retired from professional football after the end of the 2008–09 season, at the age of 41.
International career[edit]
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.[2][3] Hong Kong eventually won the match by 1–0 and Choi was banned from officiating for life.
Coaching career[edit]
Lee was appointed as the head coach of Hong Kong national football team on 22 May 2007.[4] The first match he led was a friendly match played away against Indonesia. Hong Kong lost by 0–3 in the match.
Lee was appointed as head coach of Eastern for the second time on 19 January 2018 following the resignation of Szeto Man Chun.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Lee resides with his family on Peng Chau island. His eldest son Lee Ka Wah is also a former professional footballer.
