International career
Before starting his professional career, he was the first South Korean to score at the FIFA World Youth Championship . His goal came against Canada at the 1979 tournament . Afterwards, he was called the "Korean Gerd Müller " for his scoring ability. He contributed to South Korea's gold medal at the 1986 Asian Games . During the K-League match against POSCO Atoms , his right eye was injured in 1987 after Nam Ki-young hit him in Lee's face with his foot, resulting in the latter losing his sight.
