00:00My life was just, it was just all about golf.

00:07But when you finish playing and you reflect on everything,

00:10I can see it's not just about, you know, football.

00:14There's other stuff that's important.

00:16Here's Defoe, chance, goal!

00:19Dream debut for Jermaine Defoe!

00:21I strive to see all the strikers and see how good they are.

00:24And then you train, and they start bang, bang, bang,

00:27and you're thinking, wow.

00:28Listen, I've got the ice for you.

00:29There are times where I thought you could have passed me,

00:31and I'd have a lot more.

00:35What a goal!

00:38I grew up in East London.

00:39So my mum was, yeah, 17.

00:41We just got pregnant.

00:42I was still living at home with my parents.

00:45I was a baby.

00:46I still remember it was my first Sunday team.

00:48We had the best players in East London.

00:51And I think about it now, it's like, so much pressure.

00:53This ain't no normal kid.

00:55He just said that Jermaine Defoe was here,

00:57and we might be able to get him out.

00:59It's a bit of a sore point, really.

01:00West Ham came in.

01:01Charlton claimed the under-16 internationals,

01:03poached by the Hammers.

01:06I'd all right his posters all over the wall.

01:08And then, yeah, I shook his hand, just like a kid.

01:11I just wanted to put my boots on.

01:12I wanted to show right how good I was.

01:14That was the master and the apprentice there.

01:16Right there.

01:21England footballers were becoming massive superstars.

01:24Editors realised their private lives

01:26suddenly became of interest.

01:28Yeah, of course I've poked people over the years,

01:30but no-one's perfect.

01:31You're young and successful and, you know, single.

01:35They build you up, and then they knock you down.

01:37That's what they were doing there.

01:44I think it was just the way he looked at me.

01:46It was like, I've never experienced anything like it before.

01:49Jermaine said that he was going to come up

01:51and see Bradley in hospital.

01:53Me, just sort of, like, not trusting people.

01:55You're sort of, like, having a go at it and not connecting

01:57and not getting close to people.

01:59But then with Bradley, all he wanted was to meet me.

02:02There's nothing else he wants from me.

02:04That's genuine love.

02:10Because, yeah, it's more than just kicking a ball.
