Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min gave a jersey to the club’s escort kids as a gift ahead of Christmas.
‘Ralph’, a Tottenham escort kid who recently made a big splash, confessed in an interview with ‘Sky Sports’ on the 19th (Korean time) that he received a jersey from Son Heung-min.
Ralph is one of the Tottenham child escorts who enter the stadium holding hands with the players in the tunnel.
He made a big splash during Tottenham’s 2023/24 Premier League Round 16 match against Newcastle United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on Nov. 11.
While waiting to enter the stadium, Ralph couldn’t contain his overflowing energy and suddenly became very active, doing high jumps, push-ups, and stretching exercises.
Later, when he saw Tottenham captain Son Heung-min in the front row, he wagged his finger at him as if he were a coach and gave him instructions.
In a cute gesture, Son Heung-min responded to Ralph’s instructions by grabbing his face with both hands.
Ralph’s behavior was captured on video and shared on social media, and the video became a huge hit not only at Tottenham but also among soccer fans around the world.
Tottenham responded on the club’s official social media accounts, saying, “Ralph gave us all the motivation we needed before the game.
Ralph is a total COYS (Come on You Spurs),” the club’s official social media account said, noting Ralph’s cute behavior.
Ralph has become such a popular star that he was even interviewed by Sky Sports in the UK.
Before the interview, Ralph recreated his warm-up routine from the Newcastle game, and he admitted that he learned the moves from his father and wanted to be famous.
Ralph also revealed that he was given a jersey by Son Heung-min.
Ralph wanted to get Son’s jersey for the Newcastle game but didn’t get it, but luckily he was given one at the Tottenham Christmas party.
The host was surprised and asked, “Did you get Sonny’s jersey?” and Ralph pointed his finger at the jersey on the floor, confirming that it was indeed a gift.
After receiving the jersey for Christmas, Ralph became a fan of Son Heung-min after witnessing his brilliant performance against Newcastle.
Heung-min scored a goal and provided two assists in Tottenham’s 4-1 win over Newcastle.
Starting on the left wing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, Heung-min set up Destiny Udogie’s first goal of the game with a sharp cross in the 25th minute to give his team the lead with his third assist of the season.
Before halftime, Son added one more assist.
In the 37th minute, Son picked up the ball after a miss by former Tottenham and Newcastle fullback Kieran Trippier, drove the ball himself and played a pass into the center of the box.

In the 14th minute of stoppage time, the striker completed his hat-trick, finishing off a fantastic cross from Pedro Foro.
With the momentum swinging in Spurs’ favor, Son Heung-min, who had two assists, had a chance to add to his tally when he was awarded a penalty kick.
In the 38th minute of the second half, Son was one-on-one with the goalkeeper and stepped up to take the penalty kick.
He aimed for the left corner of the goal, and his shot found the back of the net for Tottenham’s fourth goal.
In what was effectively a Tottenham victory, Son was subbed off in the 45th minute to a standing ovation from the home fans in favor of 2005-born striker Jamie Donley.
Newcastle pulled a goal back after Son’s departure, but it was too little too late to turn the game around.
Son’s penalty was his 10th league goal of the season, making him the first player since 2016 to score double figures in the Premier League for eight consecutive years.
Only six players (Thierry Henry, Sadio Mane, Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney) have achieved this in the 31-year history of the Premier League, which began in 1992, with Son becoming the seventh.
