Summary

Hola Big Interview listeners!

This is the second part of my interview with Jermain Defoe, and if you have listened to the first part of this episode then I know you have desperate to hear more from the former England striker.

In this part, you will hear a lot about Jermain's time at Tottenham and, in particular, his special bond with the supporters at White Hart Lane. Many of them still sing his name even now.

Jermain also speaks eloquently about another special relationship in his career: his bond with Sunderland supporter Bradley Lowery. It is a beautiful moment in this podcast and I was touched by what Jermain had to say.
