Never mind the international reputation of Fabricio Coloccini or Liverpool target Steven Taylor ... Bassong has been the star of the Toon defence in recent games.He played in the pre-season friendly away to Doncaster Rovers wearing the No 46 jersey, and the Toon fans had not even heard of him.
They sang, "If 46 scores, we'll be on the pitch".
Sebastien Bassong: "When I played at Doncaster, I didn't hear the songs, but I was happy to hear what the fans were singing after the match.
"The fans have been very good to me, and it was a dream for me to come to England and play for them in the Premier League."
