Cha Bum-kun (Korean: 차범근; Korean pronunciation: [tɕʰɐbʌmɡɯn] or [tɕʰɐ] [pʌmɡɯn]; born 22 May 1953) is a South Korean former football manager and player. A forward, he was nicknamed Tscha Bum or "Cha Boom" in Germany because of his name and thunderous ball striking ability.[5] He showed explosive pace and powerful shots with his thick thighs.[6][7] He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Asian footballers of all time.[8][9][10]

Bayer Leverkusen
However, Cha transferred to
Cha retired in 1989 after playing 308 Bundesliga games as a fair player. During his Bundesliga career, he scored 98 goals without a penalty, and received only one yellow card.[13] On 31 October 1987, he scored his 93rd Bundesliga goal, becoming the top foreign goalscorer by surpassing Willi Lippens.[29] His scoring record wasn't broken for eleven years until Stéphane Chapuisat scored more goals than him.[30] As of 2024, Cha is ranked ninth along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Bundesliga's foreign goalscorer standings.[30]
International career
Cha generally played the Bundesliga games as a striker, but he had originally been a winger in South Korea.[31] He became a South Korean under-20 international in 1970, and took part in the AFC Youth Championship in 1971 and 1972.[3][4] In the 1972 AFC Asian Cup, he made his senior international debut against Iraq, and scored his first international goal against Khmer Republic.[1] He was named in the Korean FA Best XI for seven consecutive years, and was selected as the Korean FA Player of the Year in 1973.[32]

In the 1978 FIFA World Cup qualification, he played all of South Korea's twelve matches, and recorded five goals and two assists,[34][35] although his knee got a boil during the competition.[36] However, South Korea failed to qualify for the World Cup by finishing the qualification as runners-up despite his struggle.
In the 1978 Asian Games, he scored two goals and provided two assists, contributing to team's gold medal.[37][38] However, he showed lethargic plays to prepare tryouts for Bundesliga clubs, and received criticisms.[39] After the 1978 Asian Games, he left for the Bundesliga and didn't play for South Korea. His last international tournament was the 1986 FIFA World Cup, South Korea's first World Cup since 1954. He showed exemplary performance in intensive checks by opponents,[40][41] but failed to prevent South Korea's elimination in the group stage.

In November 2019, Cha received the Cross of Merit from the German government.[43]
