Lee Hee-seong ( Korean :  이희성 ; born 27 May 1990), also known as Lee Seung-Bin , in South Korea ) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ansan Greeners FC .

Career [ edit ]

Lee started playing as goalkeeper in 5th grade because he thought that "saving while falling looked cool". ^[1]

In high school, Lee was regarded as a better goalkeeper than future international Kim Seung-gyu , winning Most Valuable Player at the 2008 High School Challenge and giving the trophy to his dying father in the hospital. ^[2] However, he later envied Kim, who played in the 2014 World Cup, and contemplated quitting football while playing for Ulsan Hyundai's reserves. ^[1]

On the 17th of June 2015, Lee started against Jeonbuk Hyundai in his first league appearances that season. In the 37th minute, he struck his head against striker Lee Dong-gook 's knee, causing a broken temple. The injury was life threatening, but he eventually recovered with the support of his girlfriend. ^[3]
