I don't think anyone here fully understood how big of a name he was back in China. There are absolutely tons of articles in mandarin about him passing away, all of which are filled with hundreds of comments, eg: https://sports.sina.com.cn/china/j/2021-04-29/doc-ikmxzfmk9720331.shtml https://www.163.com/dy/article/G8P854LB0529931C.html https://www.sohu.com/a/463767348_463728 (google translate does a decent job of converting them into English) gary jones

Ironic as he was rumoured to be eunuch as I recall.

Zhang’s arrival was Town’s second attempt to crack china of course. The first being when Laws lobbed Bill Carr’s fine bone(tti) dinner set at Ivano’s cheek after the Luton reverse in 1996.

I loved his time with us. Was a good defender and scored some vital goals. Hope GTFC will remember him in some way. And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot. No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all. All that was really there was still more misery Emile Zola

Brought in at the height of ITV Digital on astronomical money but you can't blame him for that. At least he gave a damn and integrated into the area for his short stay.

Scored a few for us from centre back, didn't he? Remember that one against Burnley (think it was his first), then there was one at Bolton, and another in injury time v Wimbledon. Have I missed any? One of the more expensive players we had, but it brought a lot of media attention. Think Lennie wanted him here in time to play against Palace, who also had a Chinese international in their team. Wasn't his kid born in England while he was over here? Might have misremembered that bit. Think he scored one on a Tuesday night against Birmingham at BP too.  Wasn't the biggest of blokes but he used to rise like a salmon for a header. That game away at Bolton where he scored, he and Groves (who were both at centre back I think) were winning everything at both ends that night.  We had a flurry of corners in front of the Town fans and they couldn't handle them.  Not very often you see a Sam Allardyce team undone at set-pieces. RIP Zhang.

Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Adapted very quickly to English football, good solid defender and dangerous from set pieces. Always a player that has stayed in my memory since. Wasn’t the rumour that we we’re paying £13,000 a week for him in wages and expenses though? I’m sure I recall something like that. Crazy money if it was. Far to young to pass away, rest in peace Zhang. UTM! "Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!!
