Mikhail Ivanovich An (2/18/52 - 8/11/79), was a Soviet football player of Korean ethnic origin and played for USSR and FC Pakhtakor Tashkent. He was the symbolic pride of being a "Koryo-Saram" or a Soviet Korean. Unfortunately, An was one of the FC Pakhtakor Tashkent players killed in the 1979 Dniprodzerzhynsk mid-air collision. This piece is in remembrance of his short life but long lasting legacy.
