Lee Se-yeon

Lee Se-yeon (이세연; born 11 July 1945) is a former South Korean footballer.

International career
Lee Se-yeon is regarded as one of the greatest South Korean goalkeepers of the 20th century. He conceded 55 goals in 81 caps, and won nine Asian titles including the 1970 Asian Games with South Korea national team.

South Korea had fierce atmosphere when playing with Japan at the time, because it hadn't been long since Korea had gained independence from Japan. Lee also had a strong sense of the rivalry against Japan. A clash between Lee and Kunishige Kamamoto attracted attention for a while in South Korea. South Korea recorded five wins, three draws and one loss in nine games against Japan while he played for the national team.

Style of play
Lee was strong on aerial duels by learning artistic gymnastics, although he had short height.
