In the line-ups
6 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1980–1990The archive holds 6 team sheets naming Choi Soon-ho in South Korea's starting line-up, from 1980-09-30 to 1990-06-21.
6 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
