Kewell, Daei enter Hall of Fame
FORMER South Korean defender and coach Hong Myung-bo, Iran’s Ali Daei and ex-Australian international Harry Kewell were among the first 10 players to be inducted into the Asian Football Confederations’ Hall of Fame yesterday.
Hong captained the Koreans to a fourth-place finish at their home World Cup in 2002, one of four finals in which he played at, as he racked up 136 caps. He quit as South Korea coach after this year’s World Cup as his team bowed out at the group phase with only one point.
Former Bayern Munich striker Daei played 149 times for Iran, scoring more than 100 goals, while Kewell was voted Australia’s greatest ever player.
The trio were named alongside Iran’s Homayoun Behzadi, Soh Chin Aun of Malaysia, Japan’s Yasuhiko Okudera, Saudi Arabia’s Sami al-Jaber and Indian Baichung Bhutia in the inaugural list.
China’s Sun Wen and Japan’s World Cup winning skipper Homare Sawa were the two women named among the 10.
