20:38 Lassagna gate 😂. Defoe's giggle at 20:47 😂😂😂
can't believe he turned down juventus
His relationship with Harry costs Jermaine many many games for England 😢😢 The FA Hated Harry 😳😳😳
11:01 time stamp for myself
My favourite player when he was at spurs
Spurs legend
Ian Wright clone but quicker. Always wanted him at Arsenal, but we had Henry
Amazing Defoe. I'm too old to have "favorite player" anymore, but I was young enough when I picked Defoe. So he'll be my last favorite player, lol. A great striker, nice character and a joy to watch playing football.
Thanks for the time with Spurs, Jermain Defoe. In my book you're a living legend.
jermain defoe is not welcome at west ham. not now, not ever. judas, stay well away from our club.
Met him in ‘05 when he came down to our local pitch in Kidbrooke SE London. He played with us for a few mins….tried to use the ronaldinho flip-flap against him lol…..humble lad tho…..
West Ham fans dislike this
Nah I’m 10 seconds in and I can’t help but see his legs don’t touch the floor 😂😂
Rip Glenn roeder
You was rubbish 🗑…thank poch for showing u the finger and bringing in KANE…i was dieing watching u at spurs…😔
The English Inzaghi without the trophies 😀
Should have gone abroad he would of mashed up france or Spain even Italy we would have appreciated him more
I’ve no doubt Jermain was young at the time and regrets it but it’s not just the transfer request West Ham fans were/are upset with it was the fact that he spent the whole time the start of the next season trying to get sent off and putting in next to no effort in order to force his move.
Jermains little legs swinging his feet doesnt touch the floor 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great podcast To be honest:)
Give Harry Redknapp stability and a moderate but adequate budget, we would be looking at a very successful manager in terms of silverware.
Hearing him say he was getting tips from Ian Wright, I always saw him as his reincarnation.
The interviewer has no f….. charisma whatsoever 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Our fans never did forgive Jermain for leaving West Ham but you could certainly understand him wanting to play Premier League football.
top striker
JD is just an outstanding human being. I love the guy.
I WANT A GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL, FROM JERMAIN DEFOE ❤️
As a Chelsea fan, i use to be nervous when we played them becsuse they had him and Robbie keane.
Always baffled me that he never played for a top side, hardworking consistent player and seems a decent bloke too
This guy can never develop stability in any club he plays.
Good baller 👏 Arsenal fan
This guy is great off the pitch aswell with the Sunderland lad bradley what a gem this guy is other players should be looking up to Defoe
Everything happens for a reason that's why he didn't join juventus I believe
Great professional… I always wanted him at Everton…👍
Love you Jermain! Scored on my first match at White Hart Lane in 2005. Will always be a special player to me. Tottenham legend who was there before the Poch revolution and took us to the Champions League for the first time.
I met him during the riots in London he was with a bird going into a bar/restaurant in Woodford, stopped and spoke to us for a cple mins. Good guy.
Probably the Best Finisher in the Prem but didn’t get the recognition for it
I wish I could afford a band to play in my house
JD swinging his legs while talking is so funny and adorable
What a coup to get a top player of this caliber at rangers !! watched this guy in the prem for seasons finishing is top drawer , work rate class , great wee striker .
