'''Fan Chun Yip''' ({{zh|t=范俊業}}; born 1 May 1976) is a former [[Hong Kong people|Hong Kong]] professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]]. He is currently the goalkeeping coach of [[Hong Kong Premier League]] club [[Southern District FC|Southern]].
'''Fàn Chun Yip''' (born 1 May 1976 in Hong Kong), with the nickname "Piggy"(豬仔; {{zh|cy=Jyūjái}}), is a retired [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]] and goalkeeping coach for [[Hong Kong Pegasus FC]], was in the squad of the [[Hong Kong national football team]] as a captain, and now has been promoted to become a goalkeeping coach of the national team. Widely considered one of the best goalkeepers in Asia, he was voted the [[Hong Kong Footballer Awards|Hong Kong Footballer of the Year]] in the 2003/2004 season. He has also twice consecutively been voted Goalkeeper of the Tournament in the two recent editions of the [[East Asian Cup]].


Widely considered as one of the best goalkeepers in [[Hong Kong]] back in the days, he was voted as the [[Hong Kong Footballer Awards|Hong Kong Footballer of the Year]] in the 2003–04 season.
⚫
The Hong Kong team's first choice goalkeeper, Fan is currently playing for Shatin Sports Association in the [[Hong Kong First Division League]]. Before joining Shatin Sports Association, he played for [[Double Flower FA|Instant-Dict]], [[Yee Hope]], [[Hong Kong Rangers]] and [[Happy Valley AA|Happy Valley]]. This is Fan's second spell with Happy Valley, having joined on loan some years previously. He made his international debut on 19 November 1998 against the [[Vietnam national football team|Vietnam]].


⚫
==Childhood and early career==
⚫
Fan Chun Yip made it into the Hong Kong league's [[Hong Kong Footballer Awards|Team of the Season]] four times consecutively between 2001 and 2005, and has been awarded the '[[Hong Kong Footballer Awards#Most Popular Player|Hong Kong First Division League Most Popular Player]]' twice consecutively (2004–06).
⚫
Fan was born in Hong Kong into a 7-member family. He is the youngest son. As a child, his 2nd oldest brother, who was tragically murdered in 2006, invited him to a 7 a-side match. Because he was the smallest, he was picked to be the goalkeeper. He surprised everyone with his agility and goalkeeping prowess, and even dived to save shots from the opponent on the hard concrete "pitch".
⚫
After this, Fan would regularly play in goal, which built his interest in [[association football|football]].


⚫
In 1985, Fan joined the Hong Kong football promotional program, and was picked for the [[Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation]] training team. This was the first step towards his illustrious football career.
⚫
In 2005, when Fan Chun Yip took his second participation in the [[East Asian Cup 2005|East Asian Cup]], his excellent performance again impressed foreign presses and football fans. Indeed, he was eventually awarded the Best Goalkeeper of the tournament. Since then, Fan Chun Yip made himself in fame and is recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in Asia (along with the [[japan national football team|Japan National]] [[Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi]] and the [[South Korea national football team|R.O. Korean National]] [[Lee Woon-Jae]]).


⚫
After being picked for the [[Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation]] training team, Fan was picked to join the [[Hong Kong Sports Institute]] because his potential was recognised. From amateur, Fan was promoted to the junior team, then promoted to the youth team. Because of his average height, it was not easy for him to proceed and become the first choice keeper of the youth team.
⚫
==Career==


⚫
After Fan's promotion to the youth team, he started off his 4-year long accommodated training.
⚫
===Childhood and early career===
⚫
Because Fan was professionally trained by the [[Hong Kong Sports Institute]], he eventually was selected to represent the [[Hong Kong national football team|Hong Kong]] youth team.

⚫
[[Hong Kong Rangers FC|Rangers]] is the [[Hong Kong First Division League|First Division]] club Fan first joined. In a Reserve League match, he injured his index finger and was forced to rest for a couple of months. After recovering from this injury, he was named in the [[Hong Kong Olympic football team|Hong Kong Olympic]] squad.

⚫
After a year at [[Hong Kong Rangers FC|Rangers]], he was loaned to [[Happy Valley AA|Happy Valley]]. [[Happy Valley AA|Happy Valley]] gave him the chance to make his debut, against his parent club, [[Hong Kong Rangers FC|Rangers]].

From amateur, Fan Chun Yip was promoted to the junior team, then promoted to the youth team. Because of his average height, it was not easy for him to proceed and become the first choice keeper of the youth team.


⚫
In the two years after Fan's departure from [[Hong Kong Rangers FC|Rangers]], he joined [[Yee Hope]] and [[Double Flower FA|Instant-Dict]]. In the third year after Fan's joining to the club, he helped the club to win the [[Hong Kong FA Cup]].Unfortunately, it was the last title for the club, as the sponsor left the club, forcing them to disband. On the night of 8 August 2003, Fan became nationally famous. There was an exhibition match against Spanish giants [[Real Madrid]] in the Hong Kong National Stadium. In the first half, the home team was down 4–2 due to the poor performance by the [[People's Republic of China|China]] goalkeeper [[An Qi]]. Fan came on as a substitute in the second half. He made a string of excellent saves to keep Real Madrid (with World Class players such as Beckham, Zidane, Raul and Ronaldo) at bay in the second half. After this 45-minutes, everyone in Hong Kong started to recognise and notice him.

⚫
On 17 November 2004, [[China national football team|China]] played against Hong Kong in [[Guangzhou]] in a [[World Cup 2006]] qualifying match. Fan performed numerous saves, and saved [[Zheng Zhi]]'s crucial penalty kick. The save ended China's hope of reaching the 2006 tournament on goal difference, with [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]] finishing above them in the group by virtue of one goal. After the match, the [[Mainland Chinese]] press named Fan 'The Bane of China', and Fan received some personal attack and threats; though fans of Hong Kong supported and honoured him as ''the Hero of Hong Kong'', ''Pride of Hong Kong'', etc. This has somewhat ironically led to his popularity in China, and Fan has attracted some Chinese clubs' interest.


⚫
In 2005, [[Chinese Super League]] team [[Changsha Ginde]] were interested in Fan and wanted to sign him from [[Happy Valley A.A.|Happy Valley]], and he verbally accepted the offer. The transfer was called off however, due to the sudden murder of his brother. Fan had no choice but had to stay in Hong Kong to take care of his family. In the meantime, he has promised that he will not join any team in the future except Changsha Ginde, and indicated that he will join them after the painful transition.

Fan Chun Yip (Chinese: 范俊業; born 1 May 1976) is a former Hong Kong professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He is currently the goalkeeping coach of Hong Kong Premier League club Southern.

Widely considered as one of the best goalkeepers in Hong Kong back in the days, he was voted as the Hong Kong Footballer of the Year in the 2003–04 season.

Childhood and early career

[edit]

Fan was born in Hong Kong into a 7-member family. He is the youngest son. As a child, his 2nd oldest brother, who was tragically murdered in 2006, invited him to a 7 a-side match. Because he was the smallest, he was picked to be the goalkeeper. He surprised everyone with his agility and goalkeeping prowess, and even dived to save shots from the opponent on the hard concrete "pitch". After this, Fan would regularly play in goal, which built his interest in football.

In 1985, Fan joined the Hong Kong football promotional program, and was picked for the Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation training team. This was the first step towards his illustrious football career.

After being picked for the Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation training team, Fan was picked to join the Hong Kong Sports Institute because his potential was recognised. From amateur, Fan was promoted to the junior team, then promoted to the youth team. Because of his average height, it was not easy for him to proceed and become the first choice keeper of the youth team.

After Fan's promotion to the youth team, he started off his 4-year long accommodated training. Because Fan was professionally trained by the Hong Kong Sports Institute, he eventually was selected to represent the Hong Kong youth team.

Rangers is the First Division club Fan first joined. In a Reserve League match, he injured his index finger and was forced to rest for a couple of months. After recovering from this injury, he was named in the Hong Kong Olympic squad.

After a year at Rangers, he was loaned to Happy Valley. Happy Valley gave him the chance to make his debut, against his parent club, Rangers. Fan gained a lot of first-team experience with Happy Valley, although a hand injury kept him sidelined for two months. After this, he was released by Hong Kong Rangers.

In the two years after Fan's departure from Rangers, he joined Yee Hope and Instant-Dict. In the third year after Fan's joining to the club, he helped the club to win the Hong Kong FA Cup.Unfortunately, it was the last title for the club, as the sponsor left the club, forcing them to disband. On the night of 8 August 2003, Fan became nationally famous. There was an exhibition match against Spanish giants Real Madrid in the Hong Kong National Stadium. In the first half, the home team was down 4–2 due to the poor performance by the China goalkeeper An Qi. Fan came on as a substitute in the second half. He made a string of excellent saves to keep Real Madrid (with World Class players such as Beckham, Zidane, Raul and Ronaldo) at bay in the second half. After this 45-minutes, everyone in Hong Kong started to recognise and notice him.

Club career

[edit]

On 17 November 2004, China played against Hong Kong in Guangzhou in a World Cup 2006 qualifying match. Fan performed numerous saves, and saved Zheng Zhi's crucial penalty kick. The save ended China's hope of reaching the 2006 tournament on goal difference, with Kuwait finishing above them in the group by virtue of one goal. After the match, the Mainland Chinese press named Fan 'The Bane of China', and Fan received some personal attack and threats; though fans of Hong Kong supported and honoured him as the Hero of Hong Kong, Pride of Hong Kong, etc. This has somewhat ironically led to his popularity in China, and Fan has attracted some Chinese clubs' interest.

In 2005, Chinese Super League team Changsha Ginde were interested in Fan and wanted to sign him from Happy Valley, and he verbally accepted the offer. The transfer was called off however, due to the sudden murder of his brother. Fan had no choice but had to stay in Hong Kong to take care of his family. In the meantime, he has promised that he will not join any team in the future except Changsha Ginde, and indicated that he will join them after the painful transition.

On 1 July 2007, a Reunification Cup was held in Hong Kong to celebrate the re-merging of Hong Kong with China anniversary. A China-Hong Kong XI (Chinese national team including six Hong Kong international players) played a World Star XI. Fan was given the captain's armband by the Chinese national team's head coach. He took part in the first half of the International exhibition match and again impressed highly. His excellence was acknowledged by the fans, who gave him an ovation and chanted his nickname Jyujai (豬仔; "Piggy").

Fan played for Shatin Sports Association in the Hong Kong First Division League. Before joining Shatin Sports Association, he played for Instant-Dict, Yee Hope, Rangers and Happy Valley. This was Fan's second spell with Happy Valley, having joined on loan some years previously. He made his international debut on 19 November 1998 against the Vietnam.

Fan made it into the Hong Kong league's Team of the Season four times consecutively between 2001 and 2005, and has been awarded the 'Hong Kong First Division League Most Popular Player' twice consecutively (2004–06).

International career

[edit]

In 2005, Fan again impressed in his second appearance in the East Asian Cup, his excellent performances impressing foreign press and football fans alike. Indeed, he was eventually awarded the Best Goalkeeper of the tournament. Fan is now recognized as one of the best goalkeepers in Asia (along with the Japan national Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi and the R.O. Korean national Lee Woon-Jae).[citation needed]

On 6 September 2006, Hong Kong were playing against Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup Qualification Group stages. Fan was the star player for the Hong Kong, he consistently made excellent saves, infuriating the Uzbekistan's forwards, to the extent that one of them spat at him, though the matter was resolved. At last, Fan was noted the man of the match.

Managerial career

[edit]

On 10 May 2020, it was reported that Fan would return to Pegasus as a goalkeeping coach after working at the club between 2015 and 2018.[1]
