Lee Dong-Gook (Korean: 이동국, Hanja: 李同國/李東國, born April 29 1979 in Pohang, South Korea) is a South Korean football player, currently playing for Middlesbrough as a striker. He is also known as the Lion King among his fans.

Club career

Early career

Lee started playing soccer for Pohang Steelers, making a total of 89 appearances and scoring 33 goals. He was then sent on loan to Werder Bremen of Germany's Bundesliga.

During six months at Werder Bremen in 2001, Lee's playing time was limited, partly due to injuries.

Lee left the Steelers in 2002 as he began his national service, joining the military team Gwangju Sangmu. He spent two seasons there. However, his career recovered after he returned to Pohang in 2004 and he was Korea's leading scorer in 2005 and 2006.

However, he suffered a serious knee injury, which required immediate surgery and at least six months of rehabilitation. Many said his absence was a big loss for the Korean team. He recovered in late 2006.[1][2]

Middlesbrough

Lee was signed by Middlesbrough in January 2007, after he was granted a work permit.[3] He made his English premier league debut for Middlesbrough on February 24, 2007 against Reading. He scored his first goal on August 29, 2007 in a Carling Cup match against Northampton Town in the 66th minute.

International career

Lee was a member of the South Korea national football team at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. He also took part in the 2000 Asia Cup and finished top scorer with six goals.

In 2002, Lee was not chosen by Guus Hiddink to represent South Korea in 2002 World Cup. Fans called him "Lazy Genius," because they felt that he did not fully use his potential. This is also because Hiddink emphasized strong stamina, great power, and agile speed, which are the categories that Lee struggles in, except power. [4][5] He later admitted to spending his days drinking and not watching a single game that took place in Korea.[6] On 1 November, 2007 he was banned from the national team for twelve months after it was revealed that he, along with team captain Lee Woon-Jae and teammates Kim Sang-Sik and Woo Sung-Yong, went on a late night drinking spree during the Asian Cup, in which Korea performed poorly.[7]
