The Get Jermain Defoe an OBE for his Support for Bradley states: “Seeing the support and love this man has giving to cancer fighter Bradley Lowery is unreal, he is a true friend to him. This shows that it isn’t just about the money the players make, it’s about his fans and everything he has done in his own time.”
