A familiar face to English viewers after his move to Tottenham last summer, Lee Young-Pyo is a high-energy full-back or midfielder.

He joined Spurs after spending three years at PSV Eindhoven with former national team boss Guus Hiddink, who took him to Holland six months after South Korea reached the World Cup semi-finals.

He won himself a reputation as the best left-back in the Eredivisie and impressed as PSV embarked on a dream Champions League run all the way to the semi-finals in 2005.

At international level Lee made his debut against Mexico in 1999 and was an Olympian in Sydney the following year.

He plays most of his football for South Korea in midfield but his performances on the left of a back four for Spurs show his talent and versatility.
