CHUNG-Yong Lee completed his move to Crystal Palace yesterday, ending a five-and-a-half year association with Bolton Wanderers.

Here we look at five highlights of the playmaker's career, which encompassed 195 games and 20 goals for the club.

1. A replay beckoned in the FA Cup quarter final at St Andrews when Paul Robinson lumped a long pass towards Kevin Davies in the Birmingham City penalty box in March 2011.

The skipper got above Jean Beausejour and nodded the ball towards the back post, where Chung-Yong Lee was there to score from close range.

Thousands of Wanderers fans behind the goal went into utter delirium as their heroes piled on the Korean in celebration.

2. Wanderers scout Alan Harper was the man who picked out Chung-Yong’s talents playing for FC Seoul in the K-League – and the £2.2million deal to bring him to England in August 2009 was by no means a simple one.

By the time the then 21-year-old had landed in Manchester, his debut against Sunderland was less than 48 hours away.

Named on the bench, Chung-Yong later admitted he fell asleep as Wanderers slipped to a 1-0 defeat at home to Sunderland on the opening day of the season. He replaced Gavin McCann in the 68th minute.

“That's the first time I've ever fallen over the ball but I couldn't control my body, to be honest with you,” he said. “I was really sleepy so I don't know how I played that game.

“I didn't expect to be selected because of jet lag and I was very surprised to be told I was going on. I'd fallen asleep on the bench.”

3. Chung-Yong always loved playing at St Andrews, calling it his “lucky ground.”

And the Korean’s first goal in English football, pictured, was scored in the second city – an 86th minute winner in September 2009.

Matt Taylor had crashed a free kick against the post but reacting first, Chung-Yong dummied then placed the ball into the net with incredible composure.

“It was a quality piece of finishing,” purred Gary Megson after the game. “If he had struck his shot first time I am sure it would have been blocked by the keeper.

“But he had the composure not to panic. It was a terrific finish and it was fortunate for us that the opportunity fell to him.

“He is doing well. He actually turned the game for us against West Ham in midweek and we know what we are getting from him.

“We sometimes struggle with his Korean accent but as a player he is getting stronger and better."

“I think we deserved it today. I was disappointed we didn't finish the game off when 1-0 ahead. We sat too deep.”

The Bolton News:

4. Chung-Yong didn’t do many interviews, although his English was always much, much better than he let on.

But on the eve of a game against Manchester United, which would see him pitted against countryman Ji-Sung Park, he chatted with the press through an interpreter at Euxton, coming up with a couple of real gems.

"I like living in Bolton,” he said. “It's a quiet place, but it's really convenient because it means I don't need to drive very far. I go in Tesco and I have my Clubcard, so I am very happy here."

He added of Park: “Before we became friends, I was a bit afraid of Ji because he's such a big star in Korea. I was in awe of him. We are room-mates with the national team, but I always did whatever I had to do to make sure he was comfortable.

“But now we are like brothers. We go out together to have meals quite a lot and enjoy eating together. I prefer it when Ji Sung cooks at his apartment to any of the restaurants we go to. He is a really good cook and does a very good Korean spicy chicken.

“He hasn't come to my house yet, though, because he has a PlayStation 3 and I only have a PlayStation 2, so that might be the reason.”

5. When Chung-Yong Lee broke his leg in two places playing against Newport County in the summer of 2011, the extent of the injury had people fearing for his career.

Just 12 months earlier he had won Wanderers’ player of the year in his debut campaign and though he had struggled after the 2010 World Cup with fatigue, he was still a massive part of Owen Coyle’s side, now feeling the effects of some debilitating injuries.

Missing the likes of Stuart Holden, Mark Davies and Fabrice Muamba, the Whites were in serious relegation trouble when Chung-Yong made his comeback in May 2012 as a substitute in a 2-2 draw against West Brom.

His return was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd and while James Morrison’s late equaliser proved a telling blow in the season, the fact the midfielder was back on the turf was a major achievement.
