- This is a Chinese name; the family name is Hao.
Hao Haidong (郝海东, May 9, 1970, in Qingdao, Shandong) is currently helping out at Chengdu Blades, the Chinese club recently purchased by Sheffield United Football Club in the Premier League. Although transferred to the Sheffield outfit in January 2005, he made little impact, suffering from injury, and worked mainly as a coach at the Academy.
He holds the record for the cheapest ever transfer fee, joining Sheffield United from Dalian Shide for a pound in 2005. [2]
He played over 90 times, including the 2002 FIFA World Cup for the Chinese national team, and is the record goalscorer with 41 goals for his country. Hao is known for his extraordinary pace and goal scoring instincts as a striker. He is widely considered to be the best striker in China in the past two decades.
He was transferred from Bayi FC to Dalian Shide after the 1996 season, where he played 9 seasons and eventually became the head coach before his transfer to England in January 2005. Known as the "Chinese Alan Shearer", he has won many titles and honours with Dalian Shide, notably Jia "A" Championship, the Chinese Superleague, the Chinese Super Cup and the Chinese F.A. Cup.
