Datsakorn Thonglao (Thai: ดัสกร ทองเหลา, RTGS: Datsakon Thonglao, pronounced [dàt.sā.kɔ̄ːn tʰɔ̄ːŋ.lǎw], born 30 December 1983), simply known as Go (Thai: โก้, RTGS: Ko, pronounced [kôː]) is a Thai former[1] footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder. He was known for his deadly free kicks and set-pieces.[2]

Club career

BEC Tero Sasana

The young midfielder joined a Thai Premier League club, BEC Tero Sasana in a 2001-2002 season and eventually won the league title with the club at the end of the season. It was his first senior silverware.

After a successful season with BEC Tero Sasana, Datsakorn was given a chance to play for 1. FC Kaiserslautern on a season loan deal. The Bundesliga club also expressed their interest in permanently signing him. However, it was reported that Datsakorn refused to extend his contract with them as he was homesick.[3]

Datsakorn returned to BEC Tero Sasana for the 2002-2003 season and led the team to the AFC Champions League final but lost to Al Ain FC of the UAE 1-2 on aggregate. The same season, his team became the runners-up in another 3 competitions: the ASEAN Club Championship, the Kor Royal Cup and the Thai Premier League.

Hoàng Anh Gia Lai

In 2007, Thonglao joined Hoàng Anh Gia Lai in V.League 1 and became a fan favourite despite not winning any silverware.[4][5][6]

Muangthong United

In 2010, Thai Premier League champion Muangthong United signed Datsakorn for a reported fee of $200,000 (6.6 million baht as of 2010 exchange rate).[7] It was speculated that, due to the deal, he became the highest paid Thai footballer at the time. He led Muangthong to win the 2009 Thai Premier League and became one of their key members. He won in 2010, 2012 and 2016.

International career

Datsakorn made his debut for the Thailand national team in 2001. He was first called up for the U-19 and U-23 squads for a short period and became a regular member of the senior squad soon afterwards. Datsakorn played for Thailand from 2001 to 2014, making 98 official appearances and scoring 11 goals.

He was criticized in his early years with the national team for his violent behavior, which led him to several sending-offs.

In 2007, he played again and scored two goals in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Macau. This was not the only goal that he scored in the qualifiers. The other came in a 1-1 draw against Bahrain.

He won the T&T Cup with Thailand in 2008.

In the second round of 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, Datsakorn scored 2 goals for Thailand in a 2-2 draw against Palestine.

He was one of Thailand's key players in the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup. Despite suffering a groin injury, he played until the end of the tournament.

In October 2017, he made his 100th appearance for Thailand in a match against Kenya.[8]
