**Li Fusheng** ([Chinese](/source/Chinese_language): 李富胜; 4 January 1953 – 2 December 2007) was a [Chinese](/source/Chinese_people) international [football](/source/Association_football) [goalkeeper](/source/Goalkeeper_(association_football)). He represented Chengdu Military Football Team and [Bayi Football Team](/source/Bayi_Football_Team) at club level while also having a long association representing China at international level where he made 119 appearances making him China's highest capped goalkeeper.

## Playing career

Li Fusheng was born in [Ju County](/source/Ju_County), [Shandong](/source/Shandong) but moved to [Dalian](/source/Dalian) to receive training in a Sports School where after he graduated he got a job in a petroleum factory to support his family after the death of his father. This was short lived after he was able to gain a place within the youth team of Dalian football club in 1972 before he then moved to the senior team Chengdu military football team in 1973.[1] By 1975 the [Bayi Football Team](/source/Bayi_Football_Team) who were the top military football team took Li Fusheng into their club and his career started to flourish after his performances were impressive enough to receive a call up to the Chinese national team and even go on to be included in the squad that came third in the [1976 AFC Asian Cup](/source/1976_AFC_Asian_Cup). After the tournament he would go on to become the team's first choice goalkeeper for the next several seasons and was part of the squad who narrowly missed out in [qualifying for the 1982 FIFA World Cup](/source/1982_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(AFC_and_OFC)), losing to [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand_men's_national_football_team) in a play-off.[2]

## Life outside football

After a highly distinguished career where he was a highly regarded goalkeeper despite being relatively short for a goalkeeper he would retire from football in 1984 and move into coaching taking on a coaching role within [Bayi Football Team](/source/Bayi_Football_Team) before becoming the team's leader. His role as a coach gave him access to the problems within Chinese football and he along with several other high-profile former players demanded the [Chinese FA](/source/Chinese_Football_Association) conform to full professionalism. After achieving this he would decide to move away from football and join the [Chinese Communist Party](/source/Chinese_Communist_Party) where he went to the [Central Party School](/source/Central_Party_School_of_the_Communist_Party_of_China) and then the [PLA National Defense University](/source/PLA_National_Defense_University) to become a [Colonel](/source/Colonel) before he took on a position at the [Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution](/source/Military_Museum_of_the_Chinese_People's_Revolution) where he was the deputy director in charge of cultural relics. In August 2007 after moving to a home and decorating he fell off a ladder and sustained serious head injuries. He stayed within the hospital for three months before dying of his injuries on December 2, 2007.[3]
