Last updated : 31 May 2002 By Michael Morris
The English speaking Newspaper The Korean Herald used an image of Earnie doing his famous somersault after scoring against Germany at the Millennium Stadium.

The article was highlighting the passion that comes with football and writer George Vecsey was trying to explain to the Koreans what football is all about. He showed Earnshaw doing his famous somersault and used it as part of the effort to try and win the mainly baseball playing Koreans over.

So while its been 44 years since a Wales team has competed in the World Cup finals its Robert Earnshaw who is making front page headlines in Korea ahead of the 2002 competition.
