About Huh Jung-moo
Huh Jung-moo (Korean: 허정무; Hanja: 許丁茂; born 13 January 1955) is a former South Korean football player and manager. == Club career == Huh was one of the best South Korean college footballers before starting his semi-professional career. He was often compared with Korea University's Cha Bum-kun while playing for Yonsei University. After his graduation, he joined Korea Electric Power FC, and simultaneously enlisted in Marine Corps and Navy FC to do mandatory military service. When Huh was discharged from the military service, European clubs were interested in Asian players thanks to Cha's performances at the Bundesliga. Motivated by Cha, Huh also wanted to leave for Europe, joining Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven in August 1980. For three years at PSV, he mainly played as a defensive midfielder, making opposing teams' key players tired. After suffering from Huh's persistent defense, Johan Cruyff intentionally broke Huh's nose with his arm, and Willem van Hanegem made a "slant-eye" gesture to Huh. Huh decided to return to South Korea at the end of the 1982–83 season. His wife felt homesick at the time, and he also did not feel the need to live abroad after hearing the news that a professional league would be founded in his country.
