Club career

West Ham United

Defoe was spotted playing for Senrab by Charlton Athletic who enrolled him at the FA National School of Excellence at Lilleshall in 1997. Charlton Athletic Football Club (also known as The Addicks) is a professional football club based in Charlton, in the London Borough of [1] Two years later, he took the controversial decision, aged 16, to turn professional with West Ham United, following which Charlton were subsequently awarded a compensation package rising to £1. } West Ham United Football Club is an English football club based in Upton Park, London Borough of Newham, East London, who have played 4 million depending on Premiership and international appearances. [1] At West Ham, he was a member of the Under-19 team that won the Premiership Academy title in 1999-00, scoring twice against Arsenal in the play-off final,[1] and went on to make his first-team debut in a League Cup game against Walsall in September 2000, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win. [6] The following season, he joined Second Division club Bournemouth on a near season-long loan, where he scored in ten consecutive games, equalling John Aldridge's post-war record. From 1892 until 1992 the Football League Second Division was the second highest division overall in English football. AFC Bournemouth are an English football club currently playing in Football League Two. John William Aldridge (born Liverpool, 18 September 1958) Aldridge is a British-born former Republic of Ireland international [7] He scored 19 goals in 31 appearances for Bournemouth. [8] West Ham manager Harry Redknapp tipped him for stardom, saying, "He's done great. Henry James "Harry" Redknapp (born 2 March 1947 is an English former footballer who has had a long career in football management and is the current I sent him out to Bournemouth to get some experience playing league football and he's coped marvellously. To score 10 goals in 10 games is a terrific achievement. He's a bright lad who's full of confidence. Nothing knocks him, he's a typical goal-scorer. If he misses, he'll be there the next time looking for a goal. He's a kid with a big future. "[9]

Defoe finished as the West Ham's top scorer in the 2001-02 season despite being used primarily as a substitute by manager Glenn Roeder,[1] scoring 14 goals in 39 league and cup appearances, including the only goal in a 1-0 away win against Manchester United in December 2001, as West Ham finished seventh in the Premiership. Glenn Victor Roeder (born December 13 1955 in Woodford, Essex) is an English football manager and former [10] He scored a further 11 goals in 42 league and cup appearances in the 2003-04 season but was unable to prevent West Ham from being relegated. [8][11] Less than 24 hours after the club had been relegated, Defoe made a written request for a transfer, saying "As much as I love West Ham United I feel that now is the right time for me to move on in my career. This is very much a career decision. I am very ambitious and hungry to achieve at the highest levels of the game for both club and country. " The timing of his request however drew criticism from both fans and team-mates and was turned down by the club. [12][13] He later apologised to supporters, saying "I mishandled that move and I can only apologise. I'm young and I've learned from it. I still played my hardest for West Ham and gave them 100% and want to thank the fans for their support. "[14] Defoe began the 2003-04 season with West Ham but a refusal to sign a new contract and disciplinary problems, including three sending offs, which saw him play only 22 games out of a possible 34, led to West Ham accepting an offer from Tottenham for him in the January transfer window. Tottenham Hotspur, ˈtɒʔnəm is an English professional football club which currently plays in the Premier League. [15] Defoe had scored 41 goals in 105 league and cup appearances for West Ham. [8]

Robert Lester "Bobby" Zamora (born January 16, 1981 in Barking, London) is a native born English footballer of [15] Manager David Pleat said, "I can't think of a British striker at his age who has achieved as much in such a short space of time. David Pleat (born January 15, 1945 in Nottingham) is an English former football manager and player who now provides His goal record for a 21-year-old is quite exceptional. I hope he will have a fine career at Tottenham. "[16] Defoe marked his arrival at Tottenham with a goal on his debut in the 4-3 home win over Portsmouth in February 2004[17] and added a further six in the remainder of the 2003-04 season, scoring seven goals in 15 matches.

[19] The following season was not as profitable for Defoe and Spurs manager Martin Jol used Defoe in rotation with Robbie Keane and Mido providing the competition for a starting position; Defoe started 23 times and came on as substitute 13 times, scoring nine goals. Maarten Cornelis "Martin" Jol (born January 16, 1956) is a Dutch football coach serving since 2008 as the manager of German club Hamburger Robert David "Robbie" Keane ( Irish name: Roibéard Daithí Ó Catháin) (born 8 July 1980 in Tallaght, Dublin) is an Irish Ahmed Hossam Hussein Abdelhamid ( Arabic: احمد حسام حسين عبد الحميد, also known as Mido (born February 23 1983 in Cairo, Egypt [8]

Defoe made 49 league and cup appearances for Tottenham, scoring 18 goals, during the 2006-07 season as Tottenham competed in the UEFA Cup as well as the domestic competitions. He appeared to bite West Ham player Javier Mascherano on the shoulder during Tottenham's 1-0 win over West Ham in October 2006, sparking a melee between players of both sides. Javier Alejandro Mascherano (pronounced ˌmaskeˈɾano (born 8 June 1984 in Santa Fe) is an Argentine football player who currently [20] The FA declined to take action against Defoe as the referee, Steve Bennett, had booked Defoe for the incident.

The Football League Championship (often referred to as The Championship for short or the Coca-Cola Football League Championship for sponsorship reasons [23] Defoe later offered his sympathy for Charlton and expressed his wishes for them to bounce straight back to the Premiership the following season, in a post-match interview. During the summer of 2007, there was speculation about Defoe's future at Tottenham following the arrival of Darren Bent for a fee of £16. Darren Ashley Bent (born 6 February 1984 in Tooting, London, England is an English footballer, currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur. 5 million. Defoe however insisted that he would stay at Tottenham and fight for his place, saying "I'm really excited about the new season and the prospect of another campaign in Europe. We have made some good signings and are now stronger and better equipped to compete in all competitions. "[24]

Defoe joined Portsmouth in January 2008 and scored the equalizing goal on his debut, a 1–1 draw at home to Chelsea. Portsmouth Football Club is an English football club based in the south coast city of Portsmouth. [25] In March 2008, he was unable to play against Tottenham as the Premier League ruled that he was ineligible to do so as he was initially signed on loan in January 2008[26] The following week in Portsmouth's game against Wigan he scored two goals, taking his goal tally for Portsmouth to an impressive eight goals in seven games, and becoming the first ever Portsmouth player to score in his first five home games. Due to appearances in Tottenham's third and fourth round ties Defoe found himself cup-tied for all the subsequent matches of Pompey's successful FA Cup campaign. Cup-tied is an adjective used primarily in football, to describe a player who is ineligible to play in a knockout cup competition after transferring from another club during This was particularly unfortunate as Defoe's transfer also resulted in him missing out on playing in Spurs' Carling Cup victory over Chelsea despite appearing in every match en route to the final.

International career

Defoe's form for Bournemouth in the 2000-01 season saw him selected for the England U21s team to play Mexico U21s in May 2001, and he marked his debut with the second goal as England U21s won 3-0. [27] He went on to gain 23 caps for England U21s,[28] scoring seven goals.

Darius Markus Vassell (born 13 June 1980 in Sutton Coldfield) is an English international footballer who plays club football in the [30] England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson singled out Defoe's display for praise in an otherwise poor performance by England, saying, "Jermain Defoe did very well - I liked what I saw. Sven-Göran Eriksson ( born February 5 1948 is a Swedish football manager, who is currently the manager of the Mexico national football team. He showed that he can do very well even in international football and that he is technically very good. Jermain is quick and he knows where the goal is, so I liked him very much. "[31] He was not however selected for the England squad to take part in Euro 2004. The 2004 UEFA European Football Championship (or just Euro 2004) was the twelfth edition of the UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football [32] He made his first start for England in a World Cup qualifying match against Poland in September 2004, scoring in a 2-1 win. The Poland national football team (Reprezentacja Polski w piłce nożnej is the national football team of Poland, under the auspices of the Polish [33] As he did six months earlier, Eriksson paid tribute to Defoe, saying, ""Jermain is a great talent. It couldn't have been much better for him. He did very well. He scored one goal and created other chances as well. He is a great player who will always score goals. "[34]

Despite appearing regularly for England in World Cup qualifying games and friendly matches, Defoe was not named in the provisional England squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and named only on a five-man standby list. The 2006 FIFA World Cup was the 18th instance of the FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international football world championship tournament Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe.

Wayne Mark Rooney (born 24 October 1985 in Croxteth, Liverpool, Merseyside) is an English footballer who currently plays for English Premier [36] He confessed that he was baffled by his omission, saying, "I don't know why I'm not out there. I've been involved in every squad for the last two years and feel I've played a part in helping us to qualify. I have never felt fitter and sharper than I was in training and believe I could have scored goals in the tournament. It's a strange decision and everybody I speak to thinks so as well. "[37] Eriksson said after the tournament that he did not think that Defoe would have been a better option than 17 year old Theo Walcott, who had been selected for the England squad, adding, "If I had thought so I would have picked him. Theo James Walcott (born 16 March 1989 is an English footballer who currently plays for Arsenal and the England national football I've seen him 15 or 20 times this season and I have to take the best players who I think will be good for us in the future. "[38] He made a further explanation a few months later, saying, "Jermain had a very bad season. I don't think he deserved to go to the World Cup. Taking Theo was the right decision. "[39]

Steve McClaren, who took over as England manager after the World Cup, selected Defoe for England in his first match, a friendly against Greece in August 2006. Stephen "Steve" McClaren (born 3 May 1961 is an English football manager and former player [40] Defoe continued to be selected and to appear for England in Euro 2008 qualifying games and friendly matches. The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008, was the 13th UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football [8]

Defoe was initially omitted from Fabio Capello's first squad with the new manager insisting he would only select players who were playing regular club football. Fabio Capello (born 18 June 1946 in Pieris, San Canzian d'Isonzo, Gorizia) is an Italian football manager and former professional One day after scoring on his Portsmouth debut Defoe was recalled to the England squad to replace the injured Gabriel Agbonlahor. Gabriel Imuetinyan "Gabby" Agbonlahor (born 13 October 1986 in Erdington, Birmingham) is an English Footballer who plays for Aston Villa [41] Defoe took his international goals tally up to five in the Carribean on June 1 2008 when he scored twice against a less than impressive Trinidad and Tobago defence and staking a claim for a more regular place in the international team.
