Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox football biography Harvey Choun Lim (born 30 August 1967) is an English former professional footballer.

Playing career

A goalkeeper, he was a youth player with Norwich City, but never played for the first team.[1] After spells at Plymouth Argyle (on loan), Kettering Town and Friska Viljor in Sweden, Lim signed for Gillingham in November 1989 as cover for Ron Hillyard.[2] He would go on to be named Player of the Year for 1990–91 and make over 100 first team appearances for the Kent side.[3] After a loan spell at his old side Kettering Town in the Conference, Gillingham released Lim in May 1993.[4]

Lim then signed for Sing Tao of the Hong Kong First Division, in a move facilitated by Mike Trusson, who had made the move from Gillingham to Sing Tao in 1991.[5][6] A serious neck injury sustained while playing in Hong Kong forced Lim to retire from football at just 27 years old.[7]

Lim held aspirations to play international football for China on the basis of his Fujian-born father, but was informed that he was not eligible upon moving to Hong Kong.[6]

Personal life

He subsequently moved to Whistler, British Columbia and opened an art gallery and picture framing studio.[3]
