    Everyone talks about his brilliant assists to RVP and deservedly so. But his most memorable assist for me was the one for Henry in the cup game against Leeds. That moment was all about Henry ofcourse but Song was at the top of his game and as soon as I’d seen him on the ball with Henry in that position RVP would usually occupy, I knew we were in for a dream goal. :)

    Defensive errors aside he was one of my favorite players his last two seasons. Everyone remembers when he and RVP had their magical connection but the year before he and Wilshere were wonderful together and he even scored 5 goals all of which were important if I remember correctly. Also he had always been a good passer, he assisted Eduardo’s famous beach goal too

    I was curious so I gave it a Google and I think the big lad on the left is his eldest son Nolan Song who is 15.

    I’m not 100% sure, there’s not tons of info online but im fairly sure that’s him.

    If true, he’s a fucking unit for his age.

      Weird how so many of our best players at the time left, almost like it wasn’t just the players fault

    One thing I loved about Song was his ability to foul without receiving a yellow card… he always rode that line in a game for as long as possible and broke up the opposition attack without giving away a foul, or yellow card.

    There might be some rose tinted glasses looking back at his highlights… but his blunders seem to shine brighter in my memory. He was suppose to be our midfield rock but was more liability and exposed out defenders to simple passes.
