Modest Prem stars catch the train to Cardiff for international friendly
SON HEUNG-MIN is on almost £200,000-a-week at Tottenham so you would expect Ange Postecoglou’s star striker to be using private jets and chauffeur-driven cars.
But the humble South Korea captain, 31, chose an eco-friendly way to make the trip to Cardiff last Sunday ahead of tomorrow’s friendly with Wales – by travelling on the train.
Son was fresh from his hat-trick in Spurs’ 5-2 Premier League away win at Burnley.
And the Prem star travelled on public transport with club team-mate Ben Davies.
Then they linked up with their respective national teams in the Welsh capital.
The Tottenham pair casually rocked up at Cardiff Central Station around 5.30pm just over 24 hours after the Turf Moor victory.
After getting off the commuter train, they shared a hug on the platform before going their own ways.
Son then headed to Cardiff Bay where Jurgen Klinsmann’s Korean squad are based at St David’s Hotel.
While defender Davies, 30, travelled west to Wales’ Vale of Glamorgan HQ.
It was refreshing to see the wealthy high-profile duo doing normal things.
Son is the new captain of Tottenham following the expected departure of Hugo Lloris.
Postecoglou’s Spurs lie second in the Prem table after collecting 10 points from the first four matches.
