I DIDN'T MIND PING-PONG DING-DONG

Postecoglou: Asian Cup bust-up shows Sonny is great leader & winner

- PAUL BROWN

ANGE POSTECOGLOU says hardman Heung-min Son showed he's a winner after dislocating his finger in a pingpong scrap.

Tottenham's favourite Son is known as 'Mr Nice Guy' in Spurs' half of north London for his smiley, unassuming demeanour.

But when some of his young South Korea team-mates picked up a paddle instead of paying attention at a team dinner at the Asian Cup, he flipped and called them out.

And as the injury he suffered in the subsequent scrap won't stop him playing against Wolves today, Postecoglou (right) didn't mind it one bit.

The Spurs boss said: "Sonny by nature is a nice guy. He is very polite and very respectful.

"But that doesn't mean he can't be a real winner and a guy who has high standards.
