SON HEUNG-MIN broke down in tears after what is expected to be his final Tottenham appearance following a decade at the club.
Son could’ve worn his Spurs shirt for the final time as Thomas Frank’s side locked horns with Newcastle in South Korea.
And Son could’ve been given a fitting farewell while playing in front of his most ardent fans back in his homeland.
The Spurs captain was given an impromptu guard of honour by his team-mates and Newcastle players when subbed off in the 64th minute.
The crowd in the Seoul World Cup Stadium went wild as their hero hugged everyone on the Spurs bench and appeared to weep as the full impact of his goodbye hit home.
And the Spurs admin immediately tweeted: “Cheers Son’s crying, nice one 😥.”
Son instantly became teary eyed when his No7 was put up on the board with new signing Mohammed Kudus coming on to replace the forward,
The club legend was immediately embraced by Spurs midfielder James Maddison and winger Brennan Johnson.
Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes, who somehow escaped a red card for strangling Cristian Romero, also hugged Son.
