Ho Kwok Chuen (Template:Zh; born 20 February 1977) is a Hong Kong former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He is currently the goalkeeping coach of Hong Kong Premier League club North District.

Club career

Sun Hei

Due to a lack of players at Sun Hei in the 2011–12 Hong Kong FA Cup match against Rangers, Ho played as a midfielder. Rangers' Head coach Ricardo said he had no option left. The match ended 2–0 to Rangers.[1]

Eastern

Having signed for Eastern in summer 2015, the 38-year-old Ho made his debut for the club later that year, on 21 October, in a group stage match of the 2015–16 Hong Kong Sapling Cup, and even though this was his first top-tier match in two years, he made several saves in a 1–1 draw with Kitchee, with the team's coach stating that "If it weren't for him, we might have lost."[2] On 25 December 2017, in the semifinal of the Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield against Southern District, the 40-year-old Ho came off the bench after the starting goalkeeper Yapp Hung Fai was sent off; he helped Eastern keep a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory.[3]

Resources Capital

Having signed for Resources Capital in 2019, Ho became the eldest registered player in the 2020–21 HKPL season, aged 43.

On 7 May 2023, the 46-year-old Ho announced his retirement from professional football after playing his first league match in 5 years, which ended in a 1–0 victory over Hong Kong U23, being named Player of the Match and breaking the record for the oldest appearance in the Hong Kong Premier League.[4] Aged 46 years and 76 days, he was the third-oldest player in the world to play a match in the top-tier of a national league, only behind fellow goalkeepers Georgi Petkov (47) and Géza Turi (49).[5]
