Feng Jingxiang

Fung King Cheong (born 19 December 1907, date of death unknown) was a Chinese professional footballer who went to the 1936 and 1948 Olympics. Fung spent his career in Guangzhou, China and Hong Kong. After the Chinese civil war, Fung remained in Hong Kong and never returned to mainland China to play or coach.

Club career Born in the Guangdong city of Guangzhou on 19 December 1907, Fung was 13 when he began playing football in North China.

In 1940, Fung joined the newly founded team of Sing Tao, where he stayed for five years, until 1945, when the team collapsed following the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War, so he then joined the Eastern Athletic Association, but he returned to Sing Tao as soon as the team was re-established in 1946.

Hong Kong (unofficial) Before 1949, China only occasionally participated in international competitions, such as the aforementioned Olympic and Far Eastern Games, so the main fixtures were the Interports: annual matches between city select XI's, with Fung representing the Hong Kong XI, given that he was born there, making his known debut for them in a Hong Kong–Shanghai Interport match on 5 February 1927, aged 20, scoring once in an eventual 3–3 draw. During that same month, he also scored a brace for Southern China in a 4–1 win over Eastern China, scored a consolation goal for "Combined Chinese" in a 9–1 loss to "Combined Services", and scored again for "Combined Chinese" in a 2–2 draw with Hong Kong. Fung also scored for the team against the Navy in a competition in 1936 , in which "Hong Kong Chinese" was the winner. He went on to play in the Hong Kong–Shanghai Interport in 1935 and 1937, with the latter Hong Kong team being composed of ethnic Chinese, including Fung and Lee Wai Tong, as well as Western expatriates, while Shanghai was composed of Western expatriates only.

On 28 March 1948, Fung scored for Hong Kong in a 2–1 victory over South Vietnam, becoming, at the age of 40 years and 100 days, the oldest international goalscorer in world football at the time, a record that has since been broken by England's Stanley Matthews in 1956, aged 41, although he held the Asian record for over 60 years, until it was finally broken by Singapore's Aleksandar Đurić in 2012, aged 42. In 1949, along with his "China" and South China teammate Chang King Hai and Hau Yung Sang, he was selected by Hong Kong against Saigon in the 1949 Hong Kong–Vietnam Interport. However, as Hong Kong only became a member of FIFA after 1954, while Saigon was never a member, this match was not official either.
