Nam Ki-young

Nam Ki-young is a former South Korean footballer who played as a defender.
Nam spent his entire career for the POSCO Atoms, now the Pohang Steelers, and represented South Korea at the 1988 Summer Olympics on home soil. In 1987, he collided with Daewoo Royals striker Lee Tae-ho and injured his right eye. Lee eventually lost all vision in said eye and became the first visually-impaired player at a FIFA World Cup. Coincidentally, both Nam and Lee were on the 1988 Olympics squad, yet the former never played.
After retiring, Nam worked as a referee until 1997, where he returned to coach the football team of his alma mater, Cheongjudaesung High School, until 2024.
