A bonus day all round. Bradley gets to Wembley and that player he takes around gets a goal. Maybe we should change the OP to Bradley and his Best Pal,
If you'd written that for a movie, you wouldn't believe it. Defoe scoring the first with Bradley there. And well done Joe Hart for standing aside with his first captancy of the national team for Jermain and Bradley to lead them out. A modern fairy tale by any other name.
**** off Danny, man . . . . every time that I look at one of your posts I think that there's a hair on my screen, and I try to get rid of it Or at least change your avatar
A fantastic sight. I feel like crying each time I see them together Incidentally who was the last Sunderland player to score for England?
Class that mate, what a day for the lad and fair play to the whole England set up for making it happen.
This little boy is taking all of the headlines for the right reasons. It's nice to see something positive associated with the national team, for a change. He had a great day, I watched his little video after the match and he really enjoyed the whole experience. Props to Defoe as it'd be easy for him to say he's done his bit, but he's committed long term and invested in the lad now, there's no doubt he'll continue to be there for Bradley even if he's no longer playing for Sunderland.
Jermain Defoe admitted he struggled to keep his emotions in check as he made his England return after an absence of more than three years. The Sunderland striker marked his Wembley return with the opening goal in England's 2-0 win over Lithuania in their World Cup qualifying Group F match on Sunday. please log in to view this image Replay Video Privacy Policy) It was an emotional occasion all round for Defoe who led the team out alongside Bradley Lowery - the terminally ill five-year-old Sunderland fan with whom he has formed such a bond. "It's hard to put into words really," he said. "I had to keep my emotions (under control), obviously little Brad was with me. "You can imagine how I felt doing that, it was special. please log in to view this image © Provided by Independent Print Limited image "Just to be back playing with the lads was a great feeling." Defoe’s fine form for relegation-threatened Black Cats saw him earn the recall to the squad for the games with Germany and Lithuania. And he says he hopes to continue scoring enough goals to stay in Gareth Southgate’s squad, who now sit top Group F with 13 points from five games, ahead of the World Cup in Russia next year. "Obviously I've got to go back to my club and make sure we finish the season strong," he added. "I'll keep my head down and see what happens. "It's good to be back. Just to win the game was important and we did that. It's hard to put in words really to be back."
