Lee Chun-Soo (Hangul: 이천수; born 9 July 1981) is a retired football player from South Korea. He played as a forward for the national team during the 2002 World Cup, the 2004 Summer Olympics, and the 2006 World Cup.

Football career

While Lee attended Bupyeong High School, he was already expected to be the future of Korean football with Choi Tae-Uk.

In 2002, Lee scored seven goals in K-League and made the World Cup squad. After the World Cup, he moved to play for Real Sociedad of Spain, becoming the first Korean to play in the Spanish La Liga. After a mediocre season, however, he was moved on loan to fellow Spanish side Numancia, before returning to Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i of South Korea's K-League.

Though Lee joined Ulsan in mid-season, his performance proved to be invaluable to Ulsan's capture of the 2005 league title with a hat trick in the first leg of the finals. He was subsequently named the K-League's Most Valuable Player on 28 December 2005.

In the 2006 World Cup, he scored Korea's first goal with a free kick against Togo in a 2–1 win.

In summer 2008, Lee joined Feyenoord of the Netherlands but failed to adapt to the country.

In July 2008, Feyenoord officially announced Lee's loan to Korean powerhouse Suwon Samsung Bluewings for a one-year deal. But he performed poorly for Suwon and had clashes with the coaching staff. He was suspended from the K-League by Suwon.

After few months, Suwon released him and on 26 February 2009, he was loaned to the Chunnam Dragons until 31 July 2009. On 13 June 2009, he signed with the Dragons.[2] In the last week of June 2009, however, a secret contract was exposed. Feyenoord tried to transfer Lee to Al Nassr and he had trouble getting along while at Chunnam, which released him.

He also left Saudi Arabia while still under contract with Al Nassr. He eventually joined Omiya Ardija of Japan.

On 31 March 2013, He came back to the K-league, In 1381 days at the game with Daejeon Citizen.[3] Finally, On 20 April 2013, he got an assist against Ulsan Hyundai.[4]

On 25 May 2013, he scored the first goal since his comeback to K-league against Busan IPark. Now he takes a role of veteran in the club to lead the juniors and seniors as one team.[5]

On 5 November 2015, he announced his retirement as a player.
