When a struggling Korean football club wants to transform its
fortunes, who does it turn to? A former Chelsea manager and a trio
of players with Premier League experience, of course. Who Ate All
the Squid?: Football Adventures in South Korea charts the year Ian
Porterfield managed faltering K League giant Busan IPark. The
Sunderland FA Cup legend lured three players from English football
out to Korea: striker Jamie Cureton, an ex-England youth
international who turned down Manchester United; Andy Cooke, a
former Burnley and Stoke City forward who started his career
building cowsheds; and Jon Olav Hjelde, who bolstered Nottingham
Forest after achieving UEFA Champions League heroics with
Rosenborg. How will the players cope with South Korea's unfamiliar
culture and language? Can the Brits overcome personal demons,
including car crashes, divorces and alcoholism? And does a British
football revolution really stand a chance of succeeding in
Northeast Asia? The book also casts a humorous glimpse at the
world's game inside South Korea.
