Hong Deok-Young (Hangul: 홍덕영, Hanja: 洪德永; May 5, 1921 – September 13, 2005) was a South Korean football manager, referee and former football player. He was one of the first South Koreans to be capped for their country at international level.[1]
He was also the goalkeeper of the South Korea national team who appeared at the 1954 World Cup. After retiring, he was an international football referee from 1957 to 1967. In later life, Hong went blind due to complication of diabetes mellitus. He died on September 13, 2005.
Football career
Hong started his football career at Bosung College, before joining Korea University, where he initially played as a defender.[2] When the Korean FA put together a national team in 1946, he made the cut as a goalkeeper. On April 11, 1947, South Korea arrived in Shanghai, where they played five fixtures against the Shanghai amateur football team. Hong participated in these games.[3]
Hong was South Korea's goalkeeper at the 1948. Six years later, he was in goal as South Korea appeared at their first World Cup, in Switzerland. The experience was not a happy one for the Koreans, who lost their two matches 9-0 to Hungary's famous "Magic Magyars" and 7-0 to Turkey. The 16 goals is still the record for the most goals conceded by one goalkeeper in a World Cup Finals tournament.[4]
Managerial career
After Hong retired, he became a referee, and officiated from 1957 to 1967. He also managed the Korea University team. From 1969 onwards, he managed Seoul Bank FC, a now-defunct amateur side, for eight years. In 1971, he was appointed manager of the South Korean national team.
Hong was part of the executive committee of the Korean FA in 1960, 1962, 1967, and 1972-1974. He was also the vice-president of the FA from 1985 to 1986,[5] and a member of the 2002 FIFA World Cup organising committee.
Award
In 1974, Hong received a special award from FIFA for services to refereeing. He was inducted into the Korean football Hall of Fame in 2005.[6]
