Robbie Keane Vs Defoe ?
- Thread starter superstaryid
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
In actual terms, what did this equate to tho?
I dont recall any specific incidents although footy was far less of an internet thing for me back then....
Just came across as arrogance to me, his persona was as if he was the biggest player on te pitch and the way he celebrated goals was all a bit Beckham.....thought he could have shown some humility
Keane
Defoe had an odd mentality where if he didn't start then he'd sulk when he came off the bench - Keane would try twice as hard if he was sub and would therefore win back a starting place far more easily.

Personally didn't really see that. I think Defoe has more goals from the bench than any other player in Prem history, by quite a few as well. An awful lot of them would have been for Spurs.
The very one! Legend! It was such a brilliant goal!
Strikes me as a better person as well. Keane went to his "boyhood club" but has recently come back as if he's some sort of club legend
Never really had much time for either of them however, if I had to chose I'd pick Defoe everyday.
I’m going with Robbie. 5 reasons.
1/ his partnership with Berbatov. Fantastic footballers playing in our shirt, so many memorable moments of brilliance. When we were pretty shit really as well.
2/ Lennon goal v Chelsea. I could watch him putting that defender on his backside all day.
3/ his goal v Chelsea in the 4-4. Scenes.
4/ his goal just after half time in the cup semi v Woolwich. Screaming yes down the phone to my dad just as I walked up the stairs.
What a night. Remember it till I get Alzheimer’s I reckon.
And the Main reason.
5/ 2007 my boy got given a Robbie Keane Spurs soccer skills shirt aged 10-11.
He was 2. So he wore it to bed all the time.
Called him Robber Keane as couldn’t say Robbie.
He cried when I tried to take it away when Robbie left. I remember I used to sing 11 Robbie Keane’s song to him all time before he went to bed.
His first Spurs hero because I made him a hero to him.
So let him carry on wearing it.
Told the boy him wearing it made Robbie come back.
And I’ve still got that Tshirt folded in up my wardrobe.
(Fair play to JD and how he befriended Bradley. Got a lot of time for him too)

Fuck me. Gardner, Reid, and Rasiak starting. Tainio as a winger.
I needed this to remind myself how far we’ve gone
Defoe for me....... if only because it really annoys the spammers that he came to us.
Much as I loved Defoe, some of his hit and hope type shots just were so frustrating.
Always liked Keane from his days at Wolves and I remember us being linked with him then, was disappointed he went to Coventry, Inter and then was part of that Leeds mini revolution. I remember being overjoyed at signing him as Leeds had overspent themselves into oblivion.
Keane with Berbatov was a partnership of pure beauty.
I got a 2008/2009 puma kit with his name and number, then he proceeded to leave us for his ‘boyhood’ club, the cunt!

Keane and by good margin! He played in shit teams of ours always being the standout player almost. I wish we had a guy like Keane nowadays to combine with harry. Marvellous stuff.
