Kim Myong-won (Korean: 김명원; Hanja: 金明元; born 15 July 1983) is a North Korean professional footballer, who plays as a striker.[2][3] Known for his blazing speed, he's known in North Korea as The Chariot.[citation needed]
International career
Kim has played on nine occasions for the North Korean national team since his first appearance in 2003,[1] and has been called up to their 23-man squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[4] Nevertheless, Kim Myong-won was registered as one of the three goalkeepers as all the squads must nominate three eligible keepers for the tournament. Coach Kim Jong-hun did this to boost his attacking options, but FIFA revealed that Kim Myong-won is would only be allowed to play as a goalkeeper, and not as an outfield player as had originally been intended.[5] It has also been reported that he actually played as a goalkeeper for his club at least once, showing skills especially in saving penalties.[6]
