Ok lads... here is the article continuation...
After showing promise as a schoolboy footballer, Park's progress was in danger of stalling because he lacked the physique required to cope with the demands on a top player's body.
In a bid to fast-track Park's growth, his father would make the long journey from their home in Suwon to Go-heung county, where he would visit frog farms to gather the ingredients for an unusual protein drink.
Once back home, the frog juice would be boiled up before Park gamely drank it.
Park admitted the juice tasted disgusting but the skinny teenager was happy to try anything to aid his dream of becoming a footballer.
"My father went to catch wild frogs. I was skinny and weak and my father heard their juice would give me size and strength," Park said.
"They said it was good for my health to become stronger and I ate anything that would improve my health."
Now well established as a significant figure in Ferguson's squad, Park no longer has any need for frog juice.
The 30-year-old has played a major role in United reaching a third Champions League final in four years and this time he is hoping for a happy ending.
Park was left out of the squad for the 2008 victory over Chelsea in Moscow - a decision Ferguson admitted 'almost broke my heart'.
And although he was selected the year after in Rome when United lost 2-0 to Barcelona, an underwhelming display left Park with a few regrets.
Park is well aware Lionel Messi and company will be formidable opponents again, but he is confident United can find a way to upset the odds.
Park’s Frog juice is the secret real deal…

What's green and goes round at 100mph?
I bet Park knows but probably won't get the joke.
