9 Ahn Jung-Hwan
Ahn Jung-Hwan started his career in 1998 with Daewoo Royals and was loaned to Italian Serie A side Perugia in 2000.
At the 2002 World Cup he scored an extra-time header in a controversial game against Italy to send the South Koreans into the quarter-finals, resulting in his contract with Perugia being cancelled.
The club then apologised and tried to buy out his contract, but Ahn rejected the offer as he felt they were wrong to attack his character.
He has played in the J League and the French Ligue 1 with Metz, as well as for MSV Duisburg in Germany. In 2009 he joined Chinese Super League side Dalian Shide.
He has scored 17 goals in 69 appearances for Korea Republic national team.
