Choi Yong-Soo (born September 10, 1973, in Busan, South Korea) is a former professional footballer and current coach. He spent his professional career playing for Korea and Japan and was regarded as a prolific striker in both countries, known for his hard-nose aggressiveness and work rate.

Choi has played in 1996 Summer Olympics and also represented his country at 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Nickname

In Australia and Pakistan Yong-Soo is known as "Younis Choi", given to him in recognition of his low, swerving shots on goal - much like the signature delivery bowled by Pakistani cricketer Waqar Younis.

Personal life

He divorced his wife in November 2006 after a 15-month-long marriage. His former wife, a one-time contestant in a Miss Korea pageant, went through the legal procedures to take half the estate properties under Choi's name per their prenuptial agreement.[1]
