Odds are this video will evoke a strong reaction from you, regardless of whether you support Tottenham Hotspur or not.
It’s actually impressive that Tottenham, of all clubs, have managed to divide the masses like this, considering it’s only really Arsenal and Chelsea fans that have a problem with their city rivals.
Everyone else pretty much has the same opinion of Spurs – they’re grand. It may be because they usually have an entertaining style or it may be because they have never come within an ass’s roar of challenging for the Premier League title, but whatever the reason, most fans don’t harbour any ill feelings towards Spurs.
In general, everyone wants to see Tottenham do well, but they are usually secretly delighted when they don’t finish ahead of their own team.
What we’re getting at here is that Tottenham are hard to hate for any rational reasons, but sweet zombie Jesus, Son Heung-min’s secret handshakes aren’t doing them any favours. Nor is the club tweeting out a compilation of his incredibly geeky greeting.
Sonny loves a secret handshake… 🤝🏼 😂 #COYS pic.twitter.com/Bd7srs8rd6

Some people loved it. Admittedly, they were mostly Spurs supporters.
@SpursOfficial he has a handshake with everyone on the team. What a man.

Not all Spurs fans enjoyed it though.
@SpursOfficial imagine he spent half the time he does practising handshakes on crosses and finishing.. what a player he’d be
