Player Profile #6

Seung Park
aka. Park Seung Bum
aka. The Korean man

There is something mysterious about Seung. No one really knows how he plays as good as he does. He has possibly the best control in The Sam, and his ability to play with quick reflexes means he has a tendancy to score goals that come out of nowhere.

Seung is the newest fulltime player in the team, having bee bought by The Sam from Seoul FC in early 2006 for 9274 million korean won ($NZ32 million). He has become an outstanding player in the team and was unlucky to snatch golden boot in The Sams first competition of the year. Seungs tactical midfield play and brilliant attacking play helps him become a very respectable player in all football circles.

The highlight of his career so far as quoted by him is "getting to play with Bum Joon...My one most important dream was to play with Bum Joon, if that couldn't happen, my second was to get Bum Jooned". Seung must be happy to know that he and Bum Joon paired together make a very feared midfield pairing, as Seung is quite willing to pass the ball ont0 Bum Joon knowing that he may not get it back, and the fact that Seung is the only player courageous enough to get on the end of one of Nicks through balls.

Seung is also a bit of a 'player' off the field. It is a fact that if a movie was made about each of The Sam's players, Seungs movie would have the most sex scenes, even surpassing Steves illustrious name. Although not much statements have been publically made, Seung may have at least one mistress in every time zone. Because Seung moved to a country with a rising teen pregnancy rate (New Zealand) he decided to be sensible and made sure he was not giving teenagers the wrong impression of his behaviour so he created his own line of condoms, each type given the name of a The Sam player. Hugh Heffner keeps Seungs signature on his mantlepiece.

In March 2006 Seung came third in E! entertainment's show 'hottest celebrity bodies'. The only two who beat him were Steve Cubis and Terri Henry (Sam McCleans girlfriend-not to be confused with Thierry Henry). Seung said humbly after the announcement that "I don't really consider myself hot, but I thank the lord that girls do!".

Unfortunately for Seung, because he plays with The Sam in New Zealand's Winter, he is not available to play for Korea in the world cup. He moarns this but confesses that he likes The Sam better anyway. Seung is an essential part of The Sam, his composure keeps The Sam moving in a way no other player could.
