Defoe: I Didn't Even Know Where Bournemouth Was 17 Years Ago

Jermain Defoe has returned to Bournemouth 17 years after asking where the town was when dispatched to the south coast by Harry Redknapp.

Defoe spent a successful season-long loan at the Cherries in 2000-01, setting a record for scoring in 10 successive league games in the process, after being told by then West Ham boss Redknapp that he needed to gain first-team experience elsewhere.

Now 34, the England striker is likely to end his career at the *****ity Stadium having signed a three-year contract that brings him back to where it all began.
