Defoe has done a quite raw emotional tweet to Bradley. Don't do twitter so don't know how to copy it over to here, perhaps someone else could.

Very special.
This is what he posted tonight Arnold
Very moving
If you can't read the words on the right he posted them as a photo so if you click on the picture it will take you to them both hopefully

Jermain Defoe has restored my faith in humanity and what elite sports people can do outside of their day job. They both had a really positive impact on each other and fair play to Jermain who obviously was a major factor in providing Bradley with lots of amazing memories and vice versa.

Honestly reading that and welling up at the same time. Well done Jermain Defoe.
 
If I was Jermain Defoe I wouldn't want the SPOTY award. What he has done is fantastic, and restored a lot of people's faith in the modern day footballer, but I don't know if I could accept an award for what he had done - show compassion, be a role model etc. which should be part of every human being's DNA anyway.

I do get you, but maybe it would send a message to other sportspersons to do the right thing with their celebrity status.
