    Huge respect for Defoe . It's a sad story, but the way he has treated that little boy has been fantastic

    I agree. Of course it is unbearably sad, but also on many levels it is tremendously uplifting as a great example of friendship, love and compassion.

    You are a fine human being, Mr Defoe.

    It would be nice if a few other footballers could learn from Mr Defoe.

    He's gone from being a disloyal money grabber to a truly caring individual in my book.

    A really top man who has shown his true colours during the heartbreaking & uplifting (if it's possible at the same time) story of little Bradley.

    Forget all that stuff he did to us when he was a teenager - he's turned into a fine man, and a great footballer, let's celebrate him.

    It wasn't this that changed my attitude toward Defoe. The way he dealt with the loss of his half-brother after an assault, father aged just 49 and cousin aged just 21, all over a few short years, was incredible to me.

    Very touching interview, comes across as a really decent guy with a big heart. So sad about Bradley.

    I think you mean 'you're'.

    I had hoped that cats would be better with grammar.

    I wouldn't be on here if I was a cat. I'd be too busy licking my bollocks all day.

    This was a nice thread about the way Jermain Defoe has handled himself with such dignity, grace & compassion given recent events. Why does every thread on Charlton Life have to turn into utter bollocks??

    A footballer shows some humility and compassion and people will still try drag him down.

    It's happening too much at the moment. I had to walk away from the mis-heard song lyrics thread for similar reasons.

    I'm not bothered about the leaving us as a kid thing, so many years ago and he was young.

    More concerned about the fact he's 39 and hasn't scored much in Scotland for the last 18 months or so despite playing for the best team in the league.
