Jermain Defoe - the career of a football player who has become a part of the history of the English Premier League

Jermain Defoe is a popular English footballer, born in 1982 in London. To date, he stands for Sunderland, but before that, the striker had played for many other clubs. And for what, it is worth telling.

Carier start

From the age of 15 (from 1997 to 1999), Jermain Defon played in the youth team of the Charlton Athletic Club, where he studied professional games and improved the skills that began to manifest. Then he began to practice in the team, "West Ham United." But he stayed in the youth team for less than a year. In the same season he was transferred to the main team. So began his professional biography. Jermain Defoe played for the adult "West Ham United" five years, from 1999 to 2004. He was released on the field 93 times, and during this time he designed 29 goals for the rivals. By the way, for a year the football player rented a club like Bournemouth. He played 29 games, for which he scored 18 goals! This was a good indicator, so that the young striker quickly won success among the fans.

"Tottenham Hotspur" and "Portsmouth"

In 2004, Jermain Defoe was overbought by the club Tottenham Hotspur. In this team, the footballer also spent many seasons. To be more precise, it's five years. After this period, the striker rented "Portsmouth", who subsequently decided to redeem the striker. But in 2009, Jermain Defoe still returned to Tottenham.

On November 22, the striker entered the history of the English Premier League as the third player who completed the penta trick in the championship. It was a sensation. Up to Jermain, five goals were able to score only to such players as Andy Cole and Alan Shearer, and it was a long time ago.

Like any professional football player, Defoe did not do without injuries. In 2010, on September 9, he damaged the ankle ligament, which caused him to recover for three months. But in 2012 he scored three goals against FC Maribor. Thus, he designed his 126th ball for Tottenham. And thanks to this he got to the list of the best scorers.

Last years

Jermain Defoe is a footballer who tried himself in several clubs. The next step after "Tottenham" was the club "Toronto". For him, he started performing on January 28 of last year, 2014, and scored the first two goals against Seattle, thereby securing his new team a 2-1 victory.

After "Toronto" he moved to "Sunderland". With this team for 3.5 years signed the contract Jermain Defoe. Jermain Defoe was the first to enter the field as part of his new club the day after the contract was signed. Very soon, two weeks later, he scored his first goal. Still after seven days - the second. A week later, I designed the only and victorious goal in the principled derby with "Newcastle". It was thanks to this victory, to which the team came not without the help of Defoe, "Sandreland" finished a series of eight unbeaten matches successfully.

For the national English team Defoe began to play since 2004. There the successes were not so grandiose as in the clubs, because he scored only one ball, and then during the match against the Slovenian national team. However, it was this goal that allowed the British to leave the group and get into the 1/8 World Championship in 2010.

About private life

And, of course, we can not fail to pay attention to such a topic as the personal life of a football player. He does not hide it at all. Jermain is a very loving young man, whom many fan girls consider very attractive. He constantly changes his companions and does not consider this shameful. By the way, a couple of years ago, some piquant facts about his personal life became known. It turned out that from 2001 to 2008, Jermain, despite the fact that he had severed relations with the girls all the time, kept in touch with a single young lady. The lady's name is Stephanie Mulei, and she lives next to the Totetnham stadium. The young people were coded - neither the representatives of the "yellow press", nor friends, nor relatives, nor the girls - nobody knew about this secret. Stephanie was not shy and even shared some very intimate details that relate to the player. They did not part even when Defoe started a new relationship.

It all happened at the moment when Jermain met with David Beckham's sister - Daniel Lloyd. Stephanie told reporters that she wanted a long and formal relationship with Defoe. But then, when she found out that he gave Lloyd a necklace, which costs 20,000 dollars, I realized that the football player needed only an intimacy. After all, he did not even give her cards for seven years.

As you can see, Defoe is very proud of his stormy personal life. But with whom he is now - this is an open question.
