Huh Yoon-jung

Huh Yoon-jung (30 September 1936 – August 2022) was a South Korean footballer who played as a forward.

In 1962, South Korea hosted the World Military Cup final and played against Greek national military team, the winners of the qualifiers. South Korea lost to Greece on aggregate, but Huh received attention by scoring the winning goal in the second leg. After the World Military Cup, Huh was selected for South Korean national team, playing in the 1964 Summer Olympics and the 1964 AFC Asian Cup. He is also the first South Korean footballer to join a foreign football club.

Huh was a relative of Huh Jung-moo, another famous South Korean footballer. (Some sources claimed Huh was Jung-moo's uncle.) Jung-moo started playing football after Huh urged him to become a youth football player. He died on August 2022.
