Tottenham striker Jermain
Defoe admits he was crushed by criticism from former England boss
Sven Goran Eriksson three years ago.
"Where are all the other English strikers who can score at this
level?" Eriksson demanded at the time. "Defoe? I don't think so...
and I have seen him 15 or 20 times this season."
With four goals in England's last two matches - coming off the
bench on both occasions - and nine in his last seven international
appearances, Defoe can afford to smile as he declares: "I hope he's
been watching our games this season."
