Jermain Defoe is a striker who plays for English side Tottenham and England. Defoe was discovered as a 14 year old by scouts from Charlton Athletics and joined their youth squad. At 16 Defoe decided to join West Ham, where he was given the chance to turn professional. He was in West Ham’s U-19 team winning the 1999-2000 Premier League Academy title, scoring twice in the final against Arsenal. He got his first team debut that same season, where he was the match winner in a 1-0 win against Walsall. Then West Ham manager, Harry Redknapp, sent Defoe on loan the following season to Second Division club Bournemouth, to gain more league experience. Defoe put on some exceptional performances and he was back at West Ham again for the 2001-02 season. He finished as West Ham’s top scorer, despite their new manager mainly playing him as a substitute.
In January 2004 Defoe signed for Tottenham. He kept scoring at his new club and was chosen as Player of the Year by the Spurs fans. In January 2008 Defoe left Tottenham for Portsmouth, where he joined up again with manager Harry Redknapp. Because he was cup-tied with Spurs he was not allowed to play in Portsmouth successful FA Cup campaign. By leaving Spurs he also missed out on winning the League Cup with them. After Redknapp took over as Tottenham manager in the middle of the 2008-09 season, he went ahead and signed 5 players in the January transfer window. Three of them were ex Spurs-players returning; Pascal Chimbonda from Sunderland, Robbie Keane from Liverpool and Defoe back from Portsmouth. (The other two signings were Carlo Cudicini and Wilson Palacios.) The following season of 2009-10 was Spurs’ most successful in the league for years and they qualified for the UEFA Champions League. Defoe was Tottenham’s top scorer of the season. He scored a hat-trick in their 5-1 win away at Hull and he scored five goals in their 9-1 thrashing of Wigan at White Hart Lane. Redknapp stated that Defoe was the best finisher in England and should be a regular starter for his national team.
Defoe made his senior debut for England in March 2004. He was not picked for the 2006 FIFA World Cup but was in the 2010 squad going to South Africa. He scored in England’s 1-0 win against Slovenia in the group stages, which took them to the Round of 16. In the Euro 2012 qualifyer against Bulgaria on 3 September 2010 Defoe scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win.

Benoît Assou-Ekotto is a left back who plays for English side Tottenham and Cameroon. He was born in France an like his older brother Mathieu he came through the youth system at Lens. He made his first team debut in the French Ligue 1 four days after his 20th birthday. Within the next two seasons Assou-Ekotto had a reputation as one of the best left backs in the country.
After the 2005-06 season Martin Jol brought Assou-Ekotto to Tottenham. He battled his way straight into the first XI. However in December 2006 he picked up a bad knee injury and the next two years he almost didn’t play any first team football under Juande Ramos. When Harry Redknapp took over at the club Assou-Ekotto finally got his revival. Since the end of the 2008-09 season he has been a regular starter for Spurs.
Assou-Ekotto made his debut for Cameroon in February 2009 and also played in all their matches in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, alongside his Tottenham team mate Sébastien Bassong.
