Son became South Korea’s fourth youngest-ever player to represent his country when he made his debut in December 2010.

At just 18 years and 175 days old against Syria, with only the likes of Kim-Pan Geun, Kim Bong-Soo and Ko Jong-Soo above him in the pecking order.

Not only is he the fourth youngest player to represent his country, but he is their second youngest goalscorer, when he found the back of the net against India in 2011, at the age of 18 years and 194 days.
