Jermaine Defoe looking sharp in training

[dynamo_rosco]

Defoe wants to lift that league trophy.

 

[Elgin is Blue]

One of life's good guys, and a wonderful football player on top of that.
I think he could be sensational for us next season. Would love to see him lift some silver wear that his career deserves.

 

[TQ3]

I love Defoe being here, he is a top class striker, and a humble and decent human being. Exactly the type of character for our club.
Now he has had settled into the team and going through preseason, I expect him to be on fire this season.

Anyone got the link to the video showing this “sharpness” only videos from the Portugal Training I can see are running

 

[derBovril]

He’s vegan as well.

There are a few top athletes are moving in this direction. It is the future.

So you are saying you cannot tell from an HD photograph of him gliding through the air using the earths gravity in his favour, pure world class.

Lewis Hamilton has also went Vegan in the last year or two.

Not so sure about that mate.

Top sportsman?

Top athlete?
Not for me.

Exactly - using that theory as a form of assessment big Umar Sadiq looked like a superstar

I however would like to see with a ball at their feet to clarify any judgements

They are very fit mate, but not in comparison to actual elite athletes.

 

[derBovril]

Not so sure about that mate.

Carl Lewis
Venus William's
Colin kaepernick
David Haye
Fabian Delph
Chris Smalling
Nate Diaz
Jack Wilshire

Plus loads of racing drivers, MMA fighters, weightlifters.

Scott Jurek (sp?) ultra marathon runner, Vegan. Doesn’t come more athletic than that.

Undoubtably there are a few top athletes who are vegan, still a load of bollocks.

Interesting that none of the above are endurance athletes.

I should've been more specific.

That's what I meant mate.

Agreed, and also someone who has not had his troubles to seek. I am so glad he has found his feet up here.

 

[fergie1959]

Comparing Defoe and Griffiths is like comparing Superman with Bizarro.

Ah okay, I would say there will be a fair amount of them too

You don't know what you are talking about

 

[MearnsUnionist]

You don't know what you are talking about

Is that right?

 

[Kent's agent]

Here's a photo of Defoe looking sharp

This begs for a good Photoshop caption "welcome to the Rangers"

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Astonishing that he has only 1 winners medal to show off to the grand kids (League Cup with Spurs 12 years ago).

No doubt he'll want to increase on that before he retires which can only be great for us.

 

[rangers for life]

He has a big part to play this season,he is up for it and I can't wait to see new look Rangers team too

 

[Unicorn]

He should be first pick every week. His movement and finishing is still top class.

 

[WATP]

Apart from the fish he eats.

Does he eat fish though, I too thought he was 100% vegan.

 

[WATP]

I think him and Aribo could do well together in terms of link up play

 

[DurhamBear]

Does he eat fish though, I too thought he was 100% vegan.

Just going by these articles.

And this is good why?

 

[WATP]

And this is good why?

Supposedly reduces inflammation in the body therefore reducing stress on the individual cells of the human body on every level.

Have a look at Eat & Run by Scott Jurek, he noticed an ability to go faster and further after going vegan. Although from reading the book it's clear his success is more than just his diet.

His mindset is solid, as it Defoe's which bodes well for us.

I went pescetarian for a while last year and noticed an improvement in results. Thinking about trying it again ahead of XC season.
