Hong Kong's first lady of soccer

Schoolgirl crush on Beckham led to coaching career

Hong Kong trailblazer Chan Yuen-ting became the first woman coach to guide a men's soccer team to a top-flight title - thanks to a teenage crush on David Beckham and a toughness that earned her the nickname "Beefball."

In April, Chan led Eastern Sports Club to Hong Kong's Premier League championship for the first time in 21 years.
