Ex England International Jermain Defoe is one of the greatest strikers in Premier League history, scoring 162 goals in 496 games, he is currently the eighth-highest scorer in PL history. In 2011, he became the 20th player to score a century of PL goals.
Jermain has played for Charlton, West Ham, Tottenham, Portsmouth, Toronto, Bournemouth, Rangers and Sunderland. During his time at Sunderland, he befriended Bradley Lowery, a terminally-ill six-year-old fan. Defoe supported and protected Bradley in a special way. Lowery sadly lost his battle with neuroblastoma.
In 2018, he was awarded an OBE for services to the Jermain Defoe Foundation, a charitable foundation he founded in 2013. Jermain lives an extremely healthy lifestyle and has been a vegan for a number of years which has helped prolonged his football career. He is an extremely comfortable speaker and his football knowledge is of the very highest level.
Jermain has a huge ambition to be a football manager, and in May 2024 he completed his UEFA A licence. With a year Rangers coaching the first team, and two full seasons at Tottenham Hotspur coaching the U18’s and U21’s, Jermain is preparing himself to be a manager.
Jermain has worked with various TV productions such as DAZN, Sky Sports, Premier League, MOTD, ITV, and Channel 4, and in 2024 Jermain released his very own documentary ‘Defoe’ with Amazon.
He has worked with various brands such as Adidas, Amazon, Call Of Duty, Jameson and JD Sports to name a few.
