Chan Siu Ki (Chinese: 陳肇麒, born 14 July 1985, Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong professional association football player who currently plays as a striker for South China AA. He is the all-time top scorer for the Hong Kong national football team with 29 goals. As he is capable of playing with either feet, he is sometimes tactically deployed as winger on either flanks. His pace and physical presence often give him advantages over other local players.

Club career
Tai Po
Chan Siu Ki was spotted by the management of Tai Po FC when he was playing amateur soccer. At that time, he was working in a store operated by his family. He was responsible for stock delivery and eventually he developed a strong physique. Chan Siu Ki played for Tai Po FC in the Hong Kong Third Division League. He was spotted by Rangers and joined them. However, he was almost immediately loaned and then sold to Kitchee SC and thus never played for Rangers.
Kitchee
At Kitchee, Chan Siu Ki was given opportunities and fully developed into a strong and pacy striker as the club employed a 4–3–3 playing system. As Chan Siu Ki continued to impress, he was called up to the Hong Kong team, as his physical presence and scoring record have been rare since the retirement of Au Wai Lun. Also, his physical strength allows him to do long throw in, which gives the team another attacking option. However, Chan Siu Ki was later involved in several disciplinary incidents at Kitchee SC and was suspended from playing duties by the club management. At the end of 2007–08 season, he joined arch-rivals South China AA for an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be a record-breaking sum, the former record being the HK$500,000 South China paid for Chan Wai Ho.
South China
2008-09 season
At South China, he inherited the no. 7 shirt vacated by Au Wai Lun. In the 2008–2009 season, he played on the right wing sometimes for South China as the centre forward position was often occupied by Detinho or Cacá.
2009-10 season
In the 2009–10 season, with the signing of right winger Lee Wai Lim, Chan Siu Ki has been promised a return to his preferred centre forward position. His only competition comes from new signing Leandro Carrijo.
On 1 August 2009, at the Panasonic Invitation Cup, Chan Siu Ki scored the first goal in South China's 2–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspurs.[1] Subsequently, after the two clubs forged a partnership, Chan Siu Ki would join the Spurs for a 10-day trial at some point during December 2009.[2] Although his trial was terminated prematurely because Hong Kong U23 got into the final of the East Asian Games 2009, where he scored the crucial equaliser against Japan just minutes after coming on as a substitute at half time, Chan Siu Ki later revealed that the trial had benefited him a great deal, which included a special tutorial given by former England international Les Ferdinand.[3] He was ranked 63rd in The World's Top Goal Scorer 2009 by International Federation of Football History & Statistics alongside with Eduardo Da Silva, Mario Gómez and Fernando Torres.[4]
On 15 December 2009, Chan Siu Ki score a hat-trick for South China against Shatin SA.[5]
In the 2009 AFC Cup, Chan Siu Ki was red carded at the end of the quarter final first leg against Neftchi Farg'ona and was suspended for two games.[6] He returned in the semi-final second leg to a packed Hong Kong Stadium, but was unable to help South China overturn a 1:2 deficit to Kuwait SC. The club eventually lost 1:3 and went out of the tournament.[7]
On 24 January 2010, Chan Siu Ki scored 4 goals against Happy Valley AA as South China won 6:2. This was the first time he scored 4 goals in a local league match.[8]
On 30 January 2010, Chan Siu Ki scored a goal to help South China overturn a 0:2 deficit to win the 2009-10 Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield by 4:2. Chan was the tournament's top scorer with 4 goals and he was also named the Best Player.[9] [10]
On 5 May 2010, Chan Siu Ki was diagnosed with Osteophyte.[11] But he still played in the second half of the game against Al Riffa in the 2010 AFC Cup. South China in the end lost the game 1:3.[12]
2010-11 season
In the 2010-11 Hong Kong First Division League season, Chan Siu Ki scored against Sun Hei SC but was then involved with a collision with teammate Kwok Kin Pong, which resulted in a left knee ligament injury that sidelined him for a month.[13]
Chan Siu Ki returned from injuries in November to score two goals for South China against arch rival Kitchee, but it was not enough as Kitchee won 4:3.[14] On 2 February 2011, Chan scored two goals against Sun Hei SC to help South China win 3:2 and move back to the top of the league table.[15]
In the 2011 AFC Cup, Chan Siu Ki scored the equalizing goal, from a Mateja Kezman cross, for South China at home against Persipura Jayapura.[16] In the away game to East Bengal FC, Chan Siu Ki was sent off after two bookable offences.[17]
In May 2011, after teammate Kwok Kin Pong after he scored with a nice diving header in a Hong Kong FA Cup match between South China and Sun Hei SC, Chan Siu Ki rushed in to celebrate with him, but his slide did not stop in time and caught Kwok in the face. The video was posted on the internet and picked up by Yahoo!'s Dirty Tackle.[18]
International career
Chan Siu Ki has represented Hong Kong at both senior and U-23 international levels. He has scored 13 goals in 16 games for the U-23 side. While at full international level he has been capped 39 times by Hong Kong and he has scored 29 goals.
Hong Kong
In a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying match, he got a hat trick in a game against Timor-Leste, which Hong Kong went on to win 8–1.
In the 2010 East Asian Football Championship semi final tournament, held in Kaohsiung in August 2009, he missed a penalty against North Korea but scored 4 goals against Guam.[19]
On 3 June 2011, Chan Siu Ki scored a goal against Malaysia in a friendly, it adds his goal tally to 27, helping him to surpass Au Wai Lun to become the all time top scorer for Hong Kong.[20]
On 4 October 2011, Chan Siu Ki scored the first goal in Hong Kong's 6-0 win over Chinese Taipei in the 2011 Long Teng Cup. Hong Kong thus successfully defended the trophy. Chan Siu Ki also won the Most Valuable Player award.[21]
Hong Kong U23
Chan was urgently recalled by the Hong Kong national under-23 football team from Tottenham Hotspurs for the final of 2009 East Asian Games on 12 December 2009. He arrived just before the match and was called into play at half-time. Two minutes after half-time, he equalised for Hong Kong. He also scored a penalty in the penalty shootout a.e.t, helping Hong Kong to their first international football tournament title.
On winning the gold medal, he exclaimed to the assembled media: "We are gold medal athletes, too!" (我哋都係金牌運動員!). The line has since been associated with him.[22] [23]
Due to ligament injury to his left knee, Chan Siu Ki was replaced by Kitchee captain Lo Kwan Yee for the 2010 Asian Games.[24]
Personal life
In 2009, soon after his move to South China and subsequent success with Hong Kong U23, he became a celebrity in Hong Kong. His love life became a matter of interest to the local paparazzi. He was rumoured to be two-timing after pictures of him and TVB actress Lee Yee Man was leaked on the internet. But he denied it.[25] He claimed he broke up with Lee in August and went back with Natalie in October.[26]
Political views
He appeared on the government's television advertisement for the 2012 Legislative Council election reforms, in which he urged people to take their opportunity if they want to score a goal. The advertisement attracted a barrage of criticism for him on South China's official blog. Chan explained through his management company that he has no political views and he would not persuade people to support or oppose the LegCo reforms. He only accepted the invitation to appear in the advert due to the government's sincerity and he received no payment.[27]
Endorsements
Chan Siu Ki is a spokesman for Jockey International along with teammate Man Pei Tak. Both claimed to be embarrassed at the photo shoot but were happy with the pay.[28]
