Born in Luton but moved up north to Newcastle at the tender age of 8. How long have you been living in Hanguk? Just over a year but feels like I've been here for an eon!

What do you do?
I'm a managing partner at a hagwon although I sit around at my desk and play Championship Manager all day.

Which football team do you support?
Die hard Liverpool fan but certainly not a die hard Scouser!

Your preferred position?
Somewhere in the middle

Your favorite football player of all time?
I have a few favorites that include: Alan Hansen, Ian Rush, Rob Jones and Steven Gerrard

Most memorable Han River Harriers moment?
Donning the famous sky blue shirt for the first time against Seoul United and then going on to beat them.

What is your most memorable footballing moment as a spectator?
Ian Rush scoring 2 goals for Liverpool in extra time to win the FA cup in 1989 and also watching Eric Cantona execute a perfect karate kick on a spectator in the stands.

Which Super Sunday Football League team do you hate the most?
Can't say I hate any of the teams but don't enjoy playing against the Irish boys. You know it's going to be a bruising encounter when you go up against them.

Which SSFL player(s) do you least enjoy opposing?
Two players come to mind here. The first is Abo from the Celtic team as he's very difficult to shadow and can control the game if you give him too much space. The second player is Fudje from Seoul United (I don't think I need to say anymore about this guy).

Lee Hyolee

Love football, friends and family. Hate work, money (or lack of it) and greasy food.

Hobbies?
Talking crap with friends and family, driving around aimlessly and playing sports

Best way to spend the evening after a Sunday football match.
Sitting for hours in those sauna rooms. However the downside to that is being exposed to butt naked Korean men with overgrown pubic hair!

Your favorite hangout/bar/club in Seoul?
Moya tent bar in Apkujeong and MI club in Hongdae

Your plans for the future?
Get married, make babies and become rich. Oh, and eventually score a goal for the Harriers.

Any comments/words of wisdom?
If you build, they will come.

 

Thanks for the interview, Hassan. -David
