Arnie: "I still recall the name Pak Do Ik from the 1966 World Cup - don't know why but this name has just stuck in my memory since then!!".

The same happens to me, but I do know why. He was not a professional football player. None in the N. Korea team were, at least in 1966. He was a dentist. He scored the goal in the game against Italy: N.Corea 1-Italy 0. Italy was eliminated. I'm italian, and I was 11 in 1966. Of course I remember Pak Do Ik.
