Defoe & Deeney Football Firsts: Transfers

The Footballer's Football Podcast

Available for over a year

Jermain Defoe and Troy Deeney are back for season two of Football Firsts and kick it all off by looking back at their first transfers. Jermain discusses his move from West Ham to Spurs and how it really went down, whilst Troy admits he had no idea where Watford was when they came in for him. They look at the benefits of leaving on a free, what happens when you hand in a transfer request, and how Troy signed his contract for the Hornets in a service station car park just off the M25. And Jermain looks back on the Gareth Bale deal that sent him to Real Madrid and what happens to the team dynamic when a player wants out.
