Seoul: The father of Spurs star Son Heung-min has been ordered by a South Korean court to pay a fine of three million won ($2,220) for violating child welfare law at his football school, reports said.
Son Woong-jung is a former footballer who wrote a best-selling memoir detailing how he helped his son become one of the best strikers in the English Premier League.
But earlier this year the parents of a young player at his football academy said their son was hit by coach Son Heung-yun, the brother of the Spurs player, leaving a large bruise on his left thigh.
The student and his teammates were also subjected to verbal abuse by Son senior, according to his family.
Son Woong-jung, Son Heung-yun and another individual were each ordered to pay three million won for violating child welfare law, Yonhap news agency and other South Korean media reported.
