Biography

[edit]

Zhang Yalin started his football career in the 2000 Chinese league season for Dalian Shide F.C. and would quickly establish himself within the team that won the league title.[1] From then on he would become a vital member of the team and by 2003 he was selected to the China national under-23 football team but was injured in training, which ruled him out from any tournament.[2] By 2006 in his personal life he married Jia Nini (贾妮妮), a Chinese model and actress.[3] They named their daughter, who was born 12 July 2007, Zhang Shijia (张诗伽).[4]

On 14 February 2010, Zhang died of lymphoma in Dalian, aged 28, after two years with the disease.[5]

Since his death, his shirt number of 26 has been retired in his honour by Dalian Shide.[6]
