Absolute legend. Been a fan of his career and was delighted when he came to Rangers. One of England's best ever strikers in my opinion. Top guy too. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@davidg5305 yeh always a threat. Hard work and dedicated, and also changing people's perception of what a striker is supposed to look like ( not tall, and didn't look strong yet could hold up the ball and hold off 6' plus defenders). Decent goals per game record internationally and domestically.
Ally and JD,two of footballs finest blokes………for someone who was a schoolboy at Sunderland years ago,Allly stayed at our Hostel for a while…….he was and still is ,one of the nicest humans I’ve ever had the privilege to have ever met.
Great player don't get me wrong but "one of the best strikers to have played in the Premier league" is pushing it to far imo the guy was deadly off the bench but I def remember him struggling to get first team minutes for most of his career.
I remember when he signed for rangers and a friend of mine (rangers fan) put on fb how happy he was and a friend of his (celtic fan) commented saying he was old and useless 🤣 I corrected him as a Sunderland fan I'd seen he was sharp and still 100% had it. After a few weeks and defoe banging them in the lad deleted the comment 🤣
Rangers, Celtic, Liverpool, Man Utd are Britain's most historic venerable football clubs and anyone who is lucky enough to pull on a shirt for them should feel blessed. Wonderful interview JD.
JD is such a wonderful human being , professional, such a lovely guy who really appreciates not just signing for a club but understanding what it means to fans, the canteen lady, the admin staff and even the program sellers. what he did for that little boy Bradley who died and his family puts him at the top of any player of the year, FIFA player of the year the list goes on... when you have a great heart and you treat people the same way you want to be treated yourself it dosent matter what level of society - this man is number one. an incredible role model for all and not just young people but for all. cheers for putting reality into perspective no matter what walk of life you are from. the ultimate role model (daniel saints fan who now lives in canada)
Defoe was a great and underrated player. Guaranteed goals with this guy from a Chelsea fan I would have loved to have him played for us instead of our rivals.
As a gooner, and with most of my family supporting Celtic, I should hate Jermain - but the guy is top class and you hope more people in the game have this approach. Hope he gets one last decent contract from someone
@@alexbelotti1603 Get a grip man...apart from anything else he is saying he DIDN'T hate JD...When Shanks said what he said about how important football was he knew he was exaggerating...it's just a 'figure of speech'.
I can listen to this man all day , funny, and intelligent speaker , a very good story teller, speaks with the utmost respect and passion . When he talks he makes me just want to go train in the back garden right now . Glad I got to watch you play live once at Toronto fc! Cheers JD from 🇨🇦
@@joebhoy1029 What a pathetic comment from a totally pathetic dickhead...this is about a great footballer no matter who he played for but that doesn't matter to bellends like you...you just go through life lowering the tone wherever you go...people like you really are fukn pathetic.
We will never forget you Germain, absolute superstar, your contribution will never be forgotten, wish you were with us as we go into the Europa final. Thank you for everything.
There aren't many players that leave West Ham the way JD did that I have come to admire. Obviously a top pro, and he seems like a genuine person as well, and nothing underlines that more than the bond he built with Bradley Lowery and the family. I can't speak for any other West Ham fans, but from one fellow East Ender to another, good luck mate. ⚒👍🇬🇧
Proper guy...I'm westham and I love him...I played football with him over the park when he was in westhams 1st team...I couldn't believe he came to have kick about with us...coyi
Jermain Defoe is a class act, a true professional and a Rangers legend. Thanks Jermain for all your efforts in a Rangers shirt. You will always be welcome in Glasgow. #55 🏆 WE ARE THE PEOPLE 🏴 🇬🇧
COYS grew up watching Defoe and he was my idol when growing up, the way he has been as a professional also off the field looking after his family. I named my son after him Jermain what a legend
Had the pleasure of meeting JD at the QE hospital whilst my daughter wasn't well.. couldn't have been any nicer. Gave her a Teddy and a signed team photo... forever thankful and grateful. You'll always be one of our own brother 💙 🇬🇧✝️🏴🧡
I always liked JD growing up. I thought he was a fantastic player and seemed to score every week watching on M.O.T.D. I really took an interest in him at sunderland when he helped wee Bradley's family in their time of need. When he signed for us, I was delighted to have a player of his quality and professionalism at my club. What an impact he had on our squad, the youngsters will have learned so much from him. And that goal against Livi was something special. The way he had to hold the tears back when he scored Vs Them, told me he got what it meant to us, and what it meant to be a Ranger. Gutted when it was announced he had left. Hope he gets another League medal at the end of the season, dont know if he has played enough though to be awarded one. Needs to be there for the last day trophy presentation anyway, the club should definitely invite him up for it. We can give him the send of he deserves then.
Just the way he comes across so modest with everything he does followed him at spurs and so happy he came to Ibrox thanks for everything JD 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 LEGEND 🇬🇧
Not a spurs fans but him and Robbie keane absolutely loved them at spurs; I know they had bigger named stars since but till date when I think of spurs my mind races back to the Defoe and Keane days
LEGEND! cant be a fan of any club that dont respect and love mr defoe , as a man utd fan i would of loved him at club with rooney , i just think they would of played so well together , happy new year all , and woodsy loads of respect for such a great job you do , prob forgot more about football than i know
Legend JD !! Your goal against livi when Tav pinged the ball over the defense and you took it first time n slid in the net was totally world class 👏 honestly watched it over and over again. True honor to have you at Rangers. #55 Legend ! ❤🤍💙
Really a rangers great? How many seasons? He really above mccoist , Gascoigne, hately et Al? He's a great player yeh, overall in his career, but he was a great for Rangers? Cos he got your first title since being removed from the league, and the club having to be recreated due to it being destroyed?
@K C naw because he and the rest of that squad won, what your lot had been singing about for 10 years. And no matter how long he was there, him and the rest will always be remembered for that! Also, my deepest condolences to auld terry munro's green and grey family. He tried to fight until the end, but alas, he fell well before the final hurdle 😉 Mind the gap now
Remember watching him when he played on loan for Bournemouth against my team (Reading) was the best striker i had ever seen live at that point . His movement and finishing was unreal . Great player
What a player Defoe was, he's the 9th highest scorer in Premier League history (162 goals) despite having never played for a team that was anywhere near winning the title
You have become a part of Glasgow Rangers Football Club.....you will always have a special place in our ❤'s....just wished we had got you earlier in your career.....🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sounds like the role at Rangers was more than just football for JD, he seems to hold that time in such a high regard. Such a great striker and clearly carries himself very well, 👏
J.D absolute legend so happy he came to rangers. This sort of content shines good postive light on our club. An scottish football as a hole. Get back for a legends game soon.
I think Jermain was great for us and the way he's talked about rangers makes me like him even more I think he will always have a soft spot for us now would love to see him back as some kind of coaching role at rangers
Grew up watching all football and Jermaine Defoe was that player you could rely on getting a goal and if he wasn’t playing I would shouting at the TV “bring on Defoe”. Class act 😁👏🏽
Every spurs game I went as a kid Jermaine was on the pitch what a legend man ‼️ I spoke to him on the phone once in the barbers on bullsmore lane the barber knew him and had his number…. Top guy man honestly, I was shell shocked 😂😂
Im a Rangers fan through and through , being Scottish an all but Arsenal are my English team , have been since i was like 9 so i should hate this guy by all rights , but he is just pure class and just such a down to earth guy that gets it from the fans perspective , was a pleasure to see him in the royal blue for Rangers all the best in the future JD always and i mean ALWAYS welcome back at Ibrox , we love you here !
Almost invariably the swansong players that sign for Old Firm fail to live up to their former glories. Not JD. He actually scored some really sublime and important goals during his short spell in SPL!! Really made a contribution.
We love jermane Love to have seen him 2/3 years earlier What a man What a player And now a Gers hero for life this man is in the Rangers history books now And will never be forgotten Written in books of history It is said Let it be written 😂😂😂

Absolute legend. Been a fan of his career and was delighted when he came to Rangers. One of England's best ever strikers in my opinion. Top guy too. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
100% how he never played for a top 4 club it was back then, baffles me. One of the most clinical in front of the net in the last decade or two
He had. He played for West Ham. 😊
