Transcript
00:00I think it's most likely was Sonny's last game.
00:05Yeah, it's very close, so yeah, that's the answer.
00:14Unbelievable, beautiful scenes with his teammates.
00:19The big respect from Newcastle,
00:22can't praise that highly enough from the players on the pitch.
00:27The scenes after, first when we walk around,
00:31and then when his teammates gathered around him,
00:35and we can see he's highly emotional.
00:38The way he's handled himself, conducted himself,
00:40has been impeccable in England,
00:42so I think that was great to see from both sets of players.
00:45I was very pleased with my players' reaction to that.
00:48I think he's seen as one of the game's great Premier League players,
00:54and one of the great Premier League players,
00:58in terms of character and attitude as well.
01:01I think it shines through with how he plays.
01:02He's a great person, great leader,
01:04and like I said, it was an honour to share the pitch with him,
01:08and I'm going to cherish even women I get to share with him.
01:12Sonny's been an amazing player in the Premier League,
01:14an amazing player obviously for the national team at this level,
01:18so he deserved that send-off today.
01:20Yeah, but everything that he's done for Tottenham,
01:22I think to go out in his last game,
01:24being the last competitive game,
01:26being the Europa League final,
01:28where he's won a trophy for Tottenham,
01:30and then his last ever game being here in South Korea,
01:33in his home,
01:34and I don't think there's a better way that he could have went out.
01:37It's a nice moment to see him play his last game.
01:41A player who's had an incredible career for Tottenham,
01:45and it's been a joy for the Premier League to have him in,
01:48and another player we've looked up to the last few years.
01:53His style of play is someone that a lot of winners base ourselves on,
01:57and myself especially.
