3 responses to “Jermain Defoe”
Its unlikely
2. He is not married, but has a reputation for dating serial WAGS, does not sound like th SF
12. He has appeared as a pundit, on one of setanta/espn/ITV4 during a European, possibly UEFA cup match
Also on Twitter the SF has come out and said that his fav. song is is Tomorrow never knows from the Beatles. Defoe’s brother (RIP) was a grime musician and it is likely that Defoe is also into Urban music, when its quite clear that the SF is a rockist.
On a separate note (incase it hasn’t yet been considered) on twitter the SF said that he voted for Tevez and Wiltshire as player/young player of the year. Meaning he does not play for Man city or Arsenal for cert.
Is he definately not married? Is there a link somewhere to back it up?
Point number 15 is the Man City/Arsenal one.
The personal life angle is the big challenge for me with Defoe (wife/girlfriends) but he fits a LOT of other clues really well.
West Ham/Tottenham references are strong and he talks about Redknapp an awful lot (Bournemouth/West Ham/Spurs/Portsmouth).
