Goodbye Jermain, Thanks for the Memories

So news has come out today that Jermain Defoe has agreed to join Toronto (And former Spurs player Ryan Nelson) at MLS side Toronto, He doesn't straight away so will still play out a few Spurs games (not often you get football players working their notice period) and I am sure will get a great send off at the Lane.

For me Defoe was the highlight of the Spurs team for many years, in recent years he was occasionally sidelined but was always there ready to be called upon, there has been talk of him joining other teams (And he did join Portsmouth for 1 year.) but he has never seemed to be getting stroppy if he was carrying the whole team or sat on the sidelines I always felt that when needed Defoe would be there and would give his all - funnily enough I remember speaking to a West Ham fan after we signed him who said that he had no Loyalty and he would be off if the going ever got tough, Looks like he proved them wrong.

So farewell Jermaine Defoe, good luck in Canada\America and know that you will always be a Spurs Legend.
