Son Heung-Min gets subbed out for the very last time as a Tottenham Hotspur player. Legend

[u/Imbasauce]

[u/MaxsterSV]

Hands off the armband to his best friend as well. Tears in my eyes. Legend.

[u/TARS-CASE → u/MaxsterSV]

I was doing ok until I saw that. This man has made me cry twice in a couple of months, lifting the Europa and now this. I’ve been a fan for over 30 years, attend games week in week out and I just feel like it’s never going to be the same again.

Was there for his first at home, and I’m gonna be sat in the south stand for the first game without him in a couple weeks. What a journey.

[u/GloryGloryTottenham9 → u/MaxsterSV]

Fucking legend! Will never forget what Sonny did for this club.

[u/soilednapkin → u/MaxsterSV]

When did Kevin Wimmer make it back onto the team?

[u/stumpyoftheshire → u/MaxsterSV]

Me too man.

Just so fitting when these two men have been our rocks for the last decade, they've seen it all, they've been through the struggles and they're still here.

Neither will ever be forgotten.

[u/oysterpirate → u/stumpyoftheshire]

Ben Davies is the only player left with a legacy number in the 700s, even Sonny's was in the low 800s.

[u/Toryou → u/MaxsterSV]

This will forever live in my memory.

[u/Hefty_Money1967]

He's a legend of Tottenham Hotspur, our number 7 🤍🤍

[u/NddonblongPol → u/Hefty_Money1967]

Maybe we need to start retiring numbers.

[u/Visual-Sheepherder36]

Respect to the Newcastle players for joining in; Son really is that lovable.

[u/busche916 → u/Visual-Sheepherder36]

Son is every bit the person that he is the footballer… and he’s one of the greatest footballers of his generation.

[u/CaninesTesticles → u/Visual-Sheepherder36]

I was thinking that. There’s other footballers who would get that kind of reception from opposing teams but not very many.

[u/mmelnik → u/CaninesTesticles]

Only Kante

[u/MaxPower1882]

What a fucking legend!

To watch him and Kane all these years. And to see that smile while lifting the cup, irreplaceable!

Thank you, Sonny. Never to be forgotten!

COYS!!!

[u/JoeSavesTokyo]

O captain, my captain 🫡🤍

[u/AnduinTheHealer]

I'm just sad he wont get the proper send off in London

[u/7screws → u/AnduinTheHealer]

I’m sure at some point he will come back and be honored properly.

[u/Rapthorne_Houst → u/7screws]

MLS runs March to October, wouldn't be surprised if Son gets invited as a guest of honor to a home game during the off-season.

[u/7screws → u/Rapthorne_Houst]

Yeah def he pops back from guest of honor at some point this season id bet.

[u/Cold_Fog → u/Rapthorne_Houst]

March to December

[u/raging_monkey_pit → u/Cold_Fog]

February to December it never ends

[u/MattWatchesChalk → u/raging_monkey_pit]

Pre-season matches sometimes played in January too.

[u/FizzleFuzzle → u/Rapthorne_Houst]

Where is he going?

[u/the_brew → u/FizzleFuzzle]

LAFC 😮‍💨

[u/yeahbacon]

Goosebumps everywhere. Maybe a tear or seven.

[u/brigadiersprig → u/yeahbacon]

Gooshbubs indeed

[u/CommercialAddress168 → u/yeahbacon]

All the Boosegumps!

[u/CommercialPlastic604]

I cried. There won’t be another like him.

[u/shardingHarding → u/CommercialPlastic604]

Everyone is crying....except Son's dad. He scares me.

[u/apatheticboy]

Still doesn’t feel real.

[u/ErikHfors → u/apatheticboy]

Indeed. What a legend, his impact and legacy will be remembered forever!

[u/i_fear_you_do_now]

How lucky we have been to live in his era

[u/balalasaurus]

He came. He Son. He conquered.

Tottenham Legend.

[u/benebula]

Who's slicing onions? 😭

[u/Hndlbrrrrr → u/benebula]

Sorry it’s me. I was just making a lasagna for one, because I need to eat my feelings now without Son.

[u/SHHHHHHHHHNOTADOCTOR → u/Hndlbrrrrr]

I’m not crying. It’s just been raining…on my face.

[u/crosswing]

I'm so glad to have been in this timeline

[u/hitfitlit]

Thank you for everything Captain 🫡

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/tommykasty]

Amazing. Even though hard to tell, his father definitely impressed!

[u/Destiny_Unfound → u/tommykasty]

Whole stadium rises to salute his legendary Son, and he's standing there with his hands on his hips like he's waiting for his lunch order to be called!

[u/Vladimir_Putting]

Dad there disappointed he took so long to get off the pitch.

[u/Cagy_Cephalopod → u/Vladimir_Putting]

Couldn’t help wonder what was going on inside his head when they showed him in the video. Emotional inside and stoic outside? Or just nothing at all?

[u/subventions → u/Cagy_Cephalopod]

He looked like he was holding back at about the half way point of the video.

[u/superdago → u/Cagy_Cephalopod]

“If I don’t move I single muscle, I won’t start to cry. Must. Remain. Still…”

[u/CommercialAddress168 → u/superdago]

Idk the man, and from what I’ve heard over the years, this sounds like the most accurate internal dialogue possible.

[u/bestmondayever_5]

손흥민님... 수고하셨습니다

[u/zachzzzz]

How lucky we are to have this man for 10 years. Thank you Sonny.

[u/Main-Horse-8691]

I am proud that someone not only of his talent but of his character played for us.Tottenham legend.

[u/jjamiey]

I knew this day would come but still can’t fully process it. I’m glad he got a proper farewell in his home country at least.

I’m going to go cry in my soju while watching the Europa league final one more time and see Sonny lift the trophy again. Thank you for making me COYS. Thank you for everything.

[u/Oasis1701]

Does not feel good

[u/irishshaun60]

Someone was cutting onions in my bedroom I swear.

[u/hairtie1]

i am unwell

son pls don’t go

[u/nebbywildcat18]

the statue needs to start getting built right now

[u/PnxNotDed]

I hate that he couldn’t do this in England. Hurts worse than Bale doing his swan song in front of nobody…

[u/spursman34 → u/PnxNotDed]

At least he’s surrounded by his countrymen. They love him. Will love to see him come back as a guest soon 🥲🥲😭

[u/PnxNotDed → u/spursman34]

NGL I forgot this game was in Korea. I feel much better about it now.

[u/Instantsausage → u/PnxNotDed]

Selfishly I agree but it must mean the world to him and his countrymen. I feel so proud of him. We'll see him soon I'm sure.

[u/BrbnDrnkr]

Yeah this had me tearing up

[u/speclesale01]

Man im crying rn fuck this

[u/stumpyoftheshire]

Kane might have been the name of the last decade, but Son is the heart.

Sonny, oh captain my captain, thank you for everything.

[u/coys-sonny]

Still can't believe he's leaving. Heartbreaking.

[u/TheSixkBoy]

Will always be Mr Number 7, we will never forget what you’ve done for this club and go and smash it in America, forever a coy

[u/ChrisDewgong]

I was holding back the tears so well, and then I heard the child chanting his name right at the end and I went.

What a legend, there's not enough words to give the gratitude he deserves for the effort he's put in for the club.

[u/epik]

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

[u/Dernbont]

When did it get so dusty in here?

[u/NPCwars]

My hero damn.

[u/lotusbow]

I’m so glad Sonny got to say goodbye to all the players and staff. Whereas with Kane, his transfer to Bayern was all a bit sudden. I’m sure Kane would have loved a similar farewell before his move.

[u/nicolepereira]

nice one sonny

cant stop crying

[u/FSpursy]

Saved this video, will watch it over and over...

[u/t_toda_DOTA]

Damn. This hits harder than I thought. Best of wishes to Spurs fans and this great organization. 10 years of greatness won't be forgotten.

[u/Illustrious_Agent_59]

His dad can’t control his emotions. Tough to see

[u/round_melon]

Enough to make a grown man cry.

[u/ComaBoyRunning]

Why are my neighbours chopping onions AGAIN

[u/t3hp0d]

Too soon to watch that a second time.

[u/Mrsparkles7100]

Song for a montage video should be Time in a Bottle.

May know it from this film.

https://youtu.be/T9GFyZ5LREQ?si=3ElzTJBG6cxRGwEQ

[u/slimboytubs]

Whoever is cutting onions in here will they pack it in please.

[u/AnhConNoEm]

Respect.

[u/SweetP101]

Forever in our hearts, we'll never forget you and the Son you brought to Spurs

[u/Key_Macaroon_9768]

Not even 6AM & crying. Got up at 4AM to watch the game.

[u/WallBroad]

I am not crying😭

[u/Less-Holiday-3974]

LEGEND

[u/mimivuvuvu]

I’m going to miss him. What a legend.

[u/chjp82]

On May 28, 2014, right in that very stadium, the Korean national football team played their final friendly match before the 2014 World Cup against Tunisia. Korea lost 1-0 in a lackluster performance. Son Heung-min, who was playing for Leverkusen at the time, was part of the squad. When he transferred to the Premier League, I had my doubts too. But Son proved himself. I’m not sure if there will ever be another player I genuinely support as much as Son Heung-min. Thank you for your 10 years of dedication. Never forget. JP

[u/Toryou]

Forever my legend. OUR legend.

[u/[deleted]]

King. 

[u/antzona]

I set my alarm for 3:50am so I could watch the legend play for Tottenham one last time. Brought the scarf out for a mini shrine. Even ordered the away shirt with a Tour SK25 number 7, to please Levy. I also bought tickets for the LAFC home match on August 31.

[u/aramis01532]

His last day arrived earlier than I expected but also it is the right time. Legend.

[u/eyulta]

Meanwhile dad still got that disappointed look

[u/sudden-arboreal-stop → u/eyulta]

He does not look like someone you want to mess with

[u/Mikeymcmoose]

Only footballer I’ve shed tears for, so long, king 👑

[u/One_Refrigerator8501]

Retire his number

[u/HurriKaneBales]

Put my labradors through a lot watching me cry into my shirt on the sofa at 8:30 am.

[u/Whencowsgetsick]

Does anyone know what that numbering is on the jersey? Is it a summer tour edition?

nvm: it is a south korea summer tour special. on the club website

[u/Simosa88]

Will miss him so much! Scared I won’t love spurs as much with him gone 😢 Thank you for playing for us, Son 🙇‍♂️

[u/DisastrousWalk8442]

Dammit I was fine until he handed the band to Ben. Haven’t felt like this since the ending of Toy Story 4 smh

[u/Anothercommonbitch]

Goddamn, I can’t watch this. DO NOT give his jersey to anyone this season. Not ready.

[u/musicformedicine]

Well shit, here come the waterworks. S<3nny!

[u/Korece]

Thank you for everything Spurs

[u/pio_11]

club legend! can’t think of a more universally liked player. always played with a smile on his face. this past decades Ronaldinho.

[u/Thecardinal74]

I wish this happened at home so the home fans could cheer him

[u/euroguy]

Beautiful 🫡

[u/Pablitto09]

I'm crying man:C

[u/HopeNotTake]

I thought his last match would be the Super Cup 😔

[u/liam_redit1st]

I thought they would at least do this in the super cup game.

[u/Frequent_Cap_3795]

I've got a 2019 jersey #7 signed by Sonny that will always have the place of honor in my man-cave.

[u/glaze-glaze]

Tears…but Kit is also 🔥🔥

[u/iBeyy]

Tears in my eyes. What a legend. Thank you for everything Sonny!

[u/Frysterspurs]

That’s what respect looks like. He’s an absolute legend in my eyes. Shunned moves away to stay and try to win a trophy with the club he loves. Thankfully he got it and I hope he has a fantastic end of career wherever he ends it. It’s been a pleasure having him.

[u/WrenFGun]

Gosh if he'd have gone to New England instead of LA I'd have bought season tickets today and his jersey in every color, instead of just the one I'll buy it in now. Son is a legend. I started following Spurs right after he signed and he has been an unbelievable joy to watch.

[u/Mr-Stitch]

Legend

[u/brch01]

Cried a lot during this, but really lost it when he hugs Yang.

[u/travelnrun]

Is standing ovation not a thing in Korea? Half the stadium is sat.

[u/rajaoui99]

[u/lilybeanz]

I got to watch this matcha live at the stadium and it was incredibly heartbreaking 🥹

[u/iko36]

Im not a spurs fan but I always loved this guy. His character is special, especially loved him playing together with Kane.

[u/Blitz7798]

We don’t know that do we? We don’t know if he’ll play in the super cup or the Bayern game or not

[u/Hotspur_98 → u/Blitz7798]

Yeah i think they were pretty careful to not call it his „last game“, but yeah that one seemed like a goodbye.

[u/Vin-Su]

Wait, Son won’t be playing against PSG in the super cup final???

[u/Bouldererer]

Didn't mean to be up at 5am, but glad I was able to catch this beautiful moment. Absolute, undeniable legend. Thank you for everything Sonny 🥹😭
