Noted for 'playing off the shoulder of the last defender'. Last 2 seasons at Spurs....2 goals from that position(not total from other positions).....topped league offside numbers. The last one....twice the total of nearest 'challenger'. 'Effective' :)
Defoe is a man that enjoyed the game. Didn’t retire playing in the US/China. Stretched his career as long as he possibly could. Definitely not for the money. For the love of the game.
It's a turn of phrase. Of course he trained he went from a bang average LB to one of the best attacking mids in the league at the time. You can't do that without training
@@IndecentExposure. yeh he trained so hard that Zidane never played him and the players which includes Ronaldo didn't mind. If Defoe could see that he doesn't make an effort im pretty sure every world class player at Madrid can see it too
Bale scores the winner in two CL finals and the Spanish FA Cup. Gets Wales 🏴 to a Euros Semi. Lose to the winners. Final season on Spurs return scored 17 goals in half a season of appearances. Yes, Bale was genuinely *world class!*
Highly inconsistent. At Madrid he was either horrible or really good. In the season where Ronaldo left and he was supposed to take over the baton he failed
JD seems so much more relaxed than when he's on Sky. He seems nervous with the cameras on him. I know there's cameras here but a few thousand versus a few million is a huge difference.
Robbie Fowler had 118 goals for Liverpool by age 22 on Ronaldo fenomino came close with 110 however most of them were in Eredivisie with PSV. Messi had 42 and CR7 had 38 if I recall
@@jockmackay9582 true at 23 he suffered a bad knee injury and lost his quickness over the first few yards. Then he didn't keep himself fit. Maybe he realised he wasn't going to be as good as he once was and let himself go.
Explains why Bale never had a run under Zidane and Ancelotti. You don't turn up for training at Real Madrid, there's plenty of talent at that club actually training for game time opportunities.
If Bale played for England, he would have scored against Croatia 🇭🇷 and Italy 🇮🇹. I mean, the guy scored a bicycle lick against one of the strongest Liverpool squads in a CL final.
Defoe came from the team I coached at always used to say to the boys look where you can go from a Sunday league team as a young boy reach for the stars
When Villa signed Paul McGrath I was sceptical but it turned out to be a genius signing by Graham Taylor, he never trained really either, difference was he used his brain as a player instead of relying on any physical attributes, and extended his career as a result, all Bale is doing is grinding his body into the dust and is incapable of changing the way he plays.
Never understood why Benitez or the manager that followed him, didn't sign Jermaine for Liverpool. Would've been devastating up top with Torres and Gerrard supplying them behind
@@seamusmacgabhainn4513 You're using words you don't understand. 'Infer' makes no sense in the context, you mean 'imply'. In any case, you'd still be wrong. You need to separate Torres and Gerrard with punctuation for it to make sense.
Scottish football is on the rise BIG TIME and it’s amazing to see! League champions get an automatic Champions League spot for the first time in years, whoever finishes 3rd is practically guaranteed European Group Stage football of some kind next season, lots of new and exciting talent coming into the league and a more competitive league overall! 🏴🔥

Go and watch golf.
I think Defoe has a career in radio or TV ahead of him if he wants it - absolute legend - loved his stories
Same here; he is a natural and has the stories. He tells the stories so well 😆
Well he’s on radio and tv already isn’t he so this is a daft comment

Give defo a job , honest humble funny experienced and over all a nice guy , been living listening to him over these few clips , love from Ireland
JD is class on the pitch and off the pitch 👍 younger players should look up to people like him.
What like asking for a Transfer 24 hours after your team has just been relegated , yeah what a role model
This game could of been a Netflix series with JD and I would watch all seasons with the amount of great players he played with
Defoe is such a lad 👏
Defoe has just explained why Bale was so hated at Madrid lol
I bet Real wish they knew this BEFORE signing him 🤣
Yes and why his career went downhill. Can you imagine Ronaldo or Messi not training. Madness.

How can someone be that strong and fast without training? Really shows how much of that sort of athletic talent is genetic

Defoe: WHAT A GUY
Please come back to Sunderland jermain we need you still # Unfinished business 💪🤝
great call
Defoe was a top striker, its like he was held back sometimes,but it's refreshing to hear him speak about other players as a fan
Always rated defoe and always felt he was underrated by many.
@@mrm9561 yh I think some thought bent was better
Love Jermain. What a guy
Bale was unbelievable for 4 or 5 years at Tottenham and Madrid. Some players dont need to practice too much they just are that good
The way his carer went clearly shows he was an idiot for not training
@@bigwinslots2045 yep awful for him winning several champions leagues and scoring unbelievable worldies in the final etc. Really terrible stuff.
@@charlottecooley2428 well look at him now thing about bale is he doesn’t care about legacy he just cares about money his career is finished

Thanks for the memories JD. Watching you at the old WHL when you were one v one always knew you would find the net. Clincal and ruthless 👍☝⚽️

Jd the most underrated striker👌
If Bale was injury free... the rest is history...
Best guest I've heard on here for a while
Remeber his special friendship with the little boy who passed away. Special bloke x
Good interview from Jermaine, he comes across very humble
"Big long puma boots" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Always hated seeing his name in the line-ups. I just knew he would always score against us.
But what a guy! Beautiful human being 😊
"He looks like a pole vaulter" how did woodsey get away with that line 😂

On his day Bale was every bit as good as Ronaldo and Messi .
Absolutely! During the 2018 CL final, I forgot that Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid, so good was Bale with his goals! He won that game for them!
not in the same class as messi

JD is as keeper on here. What an absolute legend ❤
Gareth loves golf, he just happened to be good at football, but to bale football is work, golf is life
Alan Hansen the same
How come Robbie Fowler scored so many goals for Liverpool but not at intermational level for England. ?
Post the Bent response 💪💪
What a great guest today. And as a bonus we got rid of gabby 1 hr earlier.
Sounds sensible take care of yourself to be ready for when it’s needed
Gareth Bale was stuck in the wrong career. I am convinced in his past life this dude wanted to be a Golfer 😅.
From Hartley centre to the premier league 💯💯💯💯
Jermain the true gent , love you at the RANGERS pal . WATP
Get JD on permanently
Bale had a face lift and moved to Spain, then grew a pony tail.
You do the maths.
First time I've heard Jermain Defoe speaking, seems like a decent fella.
When Villa signed Paul McGrath I was sceptical but it turned out to be a genius signing by Graham Taylor, he never trained really either, difference was he used his brain as a player instead of relying on any physical attributes, and extended his career as a result, all Bale is doing is grinding his body into the dust and is incapable of changing the way he plays.
McGrath didn't train because he couldn't because of his knees. Bale didn't train out of sheer laziness.

Everyone loves Defoe and everyone loves McCoist.

Bale like Hazard threw away his talent by never training properly

They need an hour of JD without Ally shouting ffs.
TalkSport need to sign Jermaine up for the breakfast show to replace that constant laughing woman
Defoe`s performances for England were horrific
England's Golden generation under performed. They could barely pass the ball, let alone feed the strikers.
He tells stories like Ol 'Arry!
