ARSENAL star Alex Song has revealed he walked FIVE hours to get a cab when London was snow bound.
The Cameroon midfield ace, 23, endured the journey from hell after the Gunners' home game with Stoke was postponed last month.
Song, a key member of the Gunners' Premier League title challenge, had to walk almost eight miles.
He said: "It was unbelievable. We arrived at the stadium and everyone went to their cars and began to drive home. I got just outside and found myself stuck in a queue for about two hours.
"Nobody was moving. I decided that, at that rate, I would be there all day - so I turned back, parked my car back in the stadium and thought 'OK, maybe I'll try to walk up the road a little way and jump into a taxi'."
He added: "I walked and didn't see anything - kept walking, still nothing. I kept going and going, and there was no point turning back.
"So I walked all the way to Brent Cross, taking the same route as when I go by car because I didn't know the side roads very well.
"I walked for four or five hours, because you have to go quite slowly and carefully in the snow. I had my coat pulled up, but nobody recognised me along the way - it was a very strange afternoon.
"When I arrived at Brent Cross I found a taxi company, but the guy said there were no cabs.

"I begged him to help and he said he'd call somebody at home but it would cost me double. I said 'No problem, I'll pay triple or whatever it takes, I just want to get home!'
"I waited about 20 minutes and the driver arrived, I jumped in the taxi and got home eventually. I'm never doing that again - if necessary I'll sleep in the stadium. As soon as I got home I had a very hot bath and went straight to bed."
It is 7.7 miles from Arsenal's Emirates' stadium in north London to Brent Cross Shopping Centre, Hendon, north-west London.
Song, who has started 78 league games for Arsenal, is preparing for a Carling Cup semi-final second leg with Ipswich tomorrow night
