Football icon Park Ji-sung bids adieu to Korean fans


Retiring South Korean football icon Park Ji-sung bid adieu to fans in style, scoring a goal in his final match on Friday while getting a hero's farwell, according to Yonhap News.


Park, a former South Korean captain who announced his retirement in May, made his last appearance at the K League Classic All-Star Game in Seoul on Friday, the report said. He served as the captain of the team of active and former players, as they took on the K League All-Stars at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Yonhap said Park, who had earlier said he was worried about his conditioning, appeared fit enough to play some more at a high level. The one-time Manchester United midfielder was lustily cheered nearly every time he touched the ball by some 50,000 fans at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Park was substituted for Baek Ji-hoon at the half-hour mark and left the field to thunderous roars. Then, about 12 minutes into the second half, Park re-entered the match, much to the delight of the fans. (From news report)
